Rabbi Dr. Dovid Slavin and his wife, Laya, transformed a simple idea into a heartwarming reality that feeds thousands. From Leah's journey from hairdresser to a beacon of hope for women undergoing chemotherapy to the establishment of Our Big Kitchen (OBK) in Bondi, Sydney, this episode captures their incredible story.
Discover how OBK evolved into a non-denominational industrial kitchen, making over 250,000 meals yearly to combat food waste and hunger in Australia. This isn't just about meals; it's about connecting people and creating a community where no one feels alone, especially during festive seasons.
In a conversation with Rabbi Slavin from OBK, we explore the future ambitions for this impactful initiative and discuss ways listeners can be part of this mission across Australia. Kindness is a language everyone understands, and by building a model of community support, we can counter negative narratives and foster meaningful connections. Whether using your unique talents or taking small steps in your community, your actions can make a significant difference.
Stay tuned for a sneak peek into our upcoming chat with Astrid Hocking from Hearts and Hands, who dedicates her life to supporting vulnerable children and communities.
