Think about all the food left over at restaurants that isn't being used. Does it get thrown out? There are tons of hungry people who would appreciate it! This is exactly was Robert Lee believes. The son of Korean immigrants was taught never to waste food. He started a nonprofit based in NYC, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine, which collects fresh food that would otherwise be thrown out and gives it to people in need. The 'Food Rescuers' have saved over 100,000 pounds of food so far and they plan to expand to other cities. Since 40% of all food goes to waste in America, Robert and his fellow rescuers are on a mission to turn it into meals for the hungry. Many restaurants and organizations, such as Starbucks and Panera, are working with the nonprofit to ensure less families go hungry!

You may know a lot about your faith, but did you ever take the time to get to know your clergy leaders? Although we look to them for religious and spiritual guidance, we often overlook the human spirit that lies underneath the robes! Believe it or not, they are just like you and me! In Clergy Chronicles: The Side You Never See, a unique original series, HooplaHa unveils the human perspective on our spiritual leaders' joys in life that really make them smile. This brand new episode goes inside the life of Rabbi Ron Fish, most recently of Congregation Beth El in Norwalk, CT, and soon to be the leader of Temple Israel of Sharon, MA, as he takes us on his spiritual journey as a basketball player, Red Sox and Cowboys fan, as well as the star of Fiddler on the Roof!

When Matthew Jurgens' mother passed away when he only two years old, her last request from Rabbi Pearl was for her son to have his Bar Mitzvah. As time went by, and Matthew's father remarried, he was instead baptized into the Catholic church. As fate would have it, when Matthew turned 30, Rabbi Pearl contacted him to honor the promise he had made to Matthew's mother decades past. Matthew began to study and at the ripe age of 31, was finally able to honor the memory of his mother and go through his adolescent rite of passage. Regardless of your faith, it is never too late to keep a promise or live the life you've dreamed of! This video was produced by Tracy Chevrier and shot/edited by Abe Halpert.
