The Rabbinical Alliance of America, a national organization of close to 1,000 , held their Seudas Rosh Chodesh at Masbia of Flatbush on Coney Island Av- enue. The rabbis gathered to put themselves in the shoes of peo- ple who rely on soup kitchens to feed themselves and to try to take away the stigma of eating at a soup kitchen. Also visiting Mas- bia recently was State Senate Majority Leader Dean G. Skelos and Senator Marty Golden, who, along with other Masbia volun- teers and staff, chopped carrots, peeled potatoes, ladled soup, and served meals.
