As you know, Rabbi Mordechai and Henny Machlis have spent their entire married lives fully devoted to the service of others. To whatever extent you know them personally and have seen them at work you know how unparalleled they are as paragons of selfless chesed, love and giving to everyone. Personally, I've never experienced anyone quite like them.
With 14 kids and full time jobs they don't have the ability to fundraise for all of the kindness that they dispense. They host beautiful, lavish Shabbat celebrations in their home each and every week where everyone is invited, made to feel fully at home and shown what a Jewish home in Jerusalem is like. They clothe, feed and house anywhere from a few to hundreds of poor, homeless and otherwise in-distress people on a regular basis - people who have no family except the Machlises and no home except the one at 137-26 Maalot Dafna (the Machlis's). They dispense over 12,000 meals a year, host a kiddush at the Western Wall every Shabbat, hold Torah Study sessions in their home at least once a week, care for orphans, widows, poor brides and the mentally or physically ill, etc, etc, etc.
As a one-stop charity, offered with a full, sincere and loving heart, there's none like them.
You can read a basic summary about their unique and beautiful home hospitality here at
About the Jerusalem Machlis Experience
along with hundreds of personal accounts on the website's Guestbook and on outside articles linked to throughout the site and elsewhere on the web.
Four Saturday Nights with the Machlises
is a recent Jewish Press article about them that offers a small representative sample of their other-than-Shabbat activities. They're impressive.
Yet there's so much more that the Machlises would do if only they had the resources for it.
