Chabad of Japan’s mitzvah mini van has a rich history of Mitzvot and good deeds.
The 240,000 km that the car has driven can attest to that.
Rabbi Edery drove from the most Northern to the most Southern tip of Japan, as well as the most Western tip to be of help to people.
Visiting prisoners in jails, Visiting people in hospitals, emergency situtations, home visits, Bringing kosher food, organizing circumcisions, house commemoration and mezuzah fixing are just some of the many trips the Rabbi and Chabad of Japan’s staff have made.
A few weeks ago, the car broke down as it was on its way up to Tohoku, bringing 3 sweet potato ovens to the people in the North.
We are now in the process of finding and purchasing a new Mitzvah Mobile.
Anyone who would like to take part in this mitzvah, can do so through this link.
May the merit of all the mitzvot done with this Mitzvah Car, be a blessing for all those who help.
Recently Rabbi Edery was invited to put up Mezuzot and bless a new home built in Nagoya. There was a beautiful meal for the ”Hanukat Habayit”- house dedication, and words of Torah, Lechaim and well wishing from all the family and friends who arrived from around Japan and Israel. We would like to wish Avi and his family Mazal tov!
Rabbi Edery’s Kosher Supervision authority, are some of the many things Chabad of Japan has established in the realm of Kashrut.
Recently Rabbi Edery and Muto san have been to Fukuoka, for the kosher supervision of Nori – seaweed. As you can see in the picture, the nori is taken out of the water in middle of night in order to retain its superb quality. The nori growers believe that once the sun ”touches” the nori, it negatively affects the quality.
Rabbi Edery checks a Bonito fish factory from which Katsuoboshi is made.
Katshuoboshi is the ”secret” Japanese ingredient that is used in many Japanese dishes, and gives it that unique Japanese flavor, like in Miso soup. The Bonito fish is first smoked, then dried for a long period of time, becomes hard like a rock and then ”scraped” into any food recipe. (Similar to the Native Americans and the Buffalo)
Special thanks to Muto san for his tireless efforts in making Kosher food available in Japan.
