Our dogs are born, raised and trained in Israel so they are accustomed to the unique environment such as extreme temperatures, traffic circles, cars that park on the sidewalk, and security barriers. Best of all, our puppies only respond to Hebrew commands! These amazing animals help visually impaired Israelis, by restoring their mobility and independence, in addition to being a constant companion and best friend. We also have wonderful Bar/Bat Mitzvah and classroom tzedakah projects. Please support our efforts. For more information call 215-343-9100 or visit www.israelguidedog.org

Kosher Chef Guy
My name is Chef Guy and I began cooking in my grandmother’s kitchen in Israel. That was where I learned her authentic Libyan recipes that she brought with her when she immigrated to Israel in the 1930’s.
After high school and the army, I moved to Jerusalem to attend culinary school, and then I went to Eilat where I spent eight years cooking in five star hotels. In 2006, I was the chef in a kosher Chinese restaurant in Miami, and in 2007 I was the executive chef at a kosher Italian restaurant in Brooklyn.
During this time I met clients who asked me to cook in their homes. I realized that this was my calling. I am most happy creating custom menus and working with clients and their families.
