Homeless families is the population that I am working with at the moment. This population is increasing yearly and the social issue seems like it does not have an end. It is a double trouble that is affecting our society more and more year after year and homeless is any longer an issue of housing.

My life was spiraling out of control more quickly than I could believe it was. I was working a full time job and a part time job, I was hanging…

Hey Joshie, I have a few words for you and hope you read it. I am willing to put down a lot of money that you left Torah Judaism because you are mad at the institutions that are associated with it. You dont hate Shabbat or Kashrut, you dont hate Teffilin and Tzitzit, you are mad as hell at the "frum culture" that is rotten from the inside out. You hate the "chumra of the month club"; you hate the unneccesary barriers between men and women (outside of Tefilah); you hate the Shiduch system and…
