A synagogue in Skokie, near Chicago, has launched a kosher community fridge in memory of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was taken hostage and killed after the October seventh attack. Named Hersh's Fridge, the initiative is believed to be the first of its kind in the area, providing exclusively kosher food to anyone in need. The project honors Goldberg-Polin's legacy of kindness and community service, reflecting his family's deep roots in the region. The fridge and accompanying pantry offer kosher-certified groceries and prepared foods, aiming to support both Jewish and wider local communities.
