On Sunday, September 18th, the Yeshiva University High School for Boys (MTA) freshmen from Rabbi Pearl’s shiur participated in a chesed trip to the KosherTroops main packing facility to help prepare delicious food in large boxes, to be sent to men in uniform.
Although it seemed simple at first, it took a lot of hard work to make sure that the job was done correctly; whether it was the crowded food stations or confusing aspects of the packing, it was not as easy as it looked. However, as a shiur, Rabbi Pearl’s talmidim persevered, and accomplished their goal of helping those who serve in the United States Army. Together, the boys packed many boxes, each box containing food for about 5 to 10 people, aiding a tremendous number of soldiers. The boys left the packing facility feeling great, knowing that at the end of the day they did something helpful, productive, and gracious for men in uniform.
