Moshe and Ruth Harizy - Founders of Oneg Shabbat and Beshert Moshe and Ruth Harizy have dedicated their lives to bringing Jews closer to Judaism. For the last 7 years, Moshe, Ruth and their 4 children have hosted guests in their Upper West Side Manhattan home every Shabbat. The meals draw between 20-30 people -- singles and couples alike. They had a dream of a place where Jews can go to experience the joy of Shabbat no matter where they are. This year, that dream became a reality with the launching of Oneg-Shabbat.org. Moshe's family came from Yemen to Israel in 1882 - bringing with them many Yeminite traditions. Moshe, born in Tel Aviv, served as a communications officer in the Israeli Army during the Lebanon war. He then headed Keren Chai Emes for 4 years (a non-profit organization which gave 60,000 children the opportunity to plant trees in the mountains of Israel). In 1996 Moshe founded "The Yemenite Minyan" in New York City. Every Wednesday night he teaches a class titled 'The Mystical Torah" at Aish NY at 10:00 pm. Thursday nights he hosts - All Night Learning - where a group of dedicated students delve into the Parsha with mystical insights from 1:30 am to 6 am. Many of New York's Baal Teshuva community seek Moshe's spiritual guidance. He is the owner of Alibaba Restaurant on Amsterdam Avenue at 85th Street, serving delicious, affordable, Kosher cuisine. Ruth was born in Israel and served in the Israeli Army before she and Moshe met at a Purim celebration. Ruth is a registered nurse working in the intensive care unit for pre-mature babies. Ruth loves to cook and has her own special recipes which have become favorites at her table. All the food she makes is healthy and filled with love. In her free time, Ruth matches singles in the community and many girls seek her advice on relationships and successful marriage.
