Chasdei
Yosef - Central Charity Fund is named after a man of great
vision and kindness. Rabbi Yosef Eliahu Deutch was born in
Jerusalem in the year 1922. As a young child he was well known
for his generosity amongst his peers. As Rabbi Deutch matured,
his impact on those in need was known to all. When he married,
he emphasized to his young wife that he wanted his home to
be an inviting place for those who had nowhere to go. The
Sabbath meals in his home were always attended by the disadvantaged
and a warm meal - and an even warmer welcome greeted them
each week. Rabbi Deutch made sure that each of his guests
felt comfortable, often giving his own place to someone else.
His children remember him sighing each week, asking the One
Above to bless him with a larger home, which would allow more
people to come...
Rabbi Deutch's sons internalized his values and dreams. After
his passing in 1983, Rabbis Deutch's sons founded the Central
Charity Fund - "Chasdei Yosef" - named after their
benevolent father. From a single man's open heart and open
home, Chasdei Yosef has evolved into an organization that
reaches 30,000 people a year.
