About 45 teens were at the Mada Community Center Thursday helping prepare Passover meals.
The teenagers were from a youth group called Diller Teen Fellows. Half are from Beersheba, Montreal’s twin city in Israel, and the other half are from high schools around Montreal.
The items on the menu are specific to Passover and are scooped up quickly. The organization’s goal is to make sure everyone in Montreal’s Jewish community is able to celebrate Passover.
“It’s a holiday, especially Passover time, where we talk about freedom, so it gives them the freedom to be able to celebrate with dignity and instead of being embarrassed … that they have nowhere to go,” said Miriam Ditkofsky, MADA’s development officer. During the first two nights of Passover, MADA will serve about 2,500 meals at satellite areas throughout the city to families in need. The organization prepares 4,500 hot meals for families on a daily basis.
