On a recent flight to Hungary for the yahrtzeit of Rav Yeshayele of Kerestir zt”l, a Yid sponsored drinks for all passengers. The stewardesses were instructed to serve water, juice and beer to all flyers, with the benefactor, Yossi Weinberger, paying for it all.
Weinberger is a resident of Stamford Hill, London.
A small can of Coke (150 ml) regularly costs €2 on such a flight.
Every single person on that flight – including the 18 non-Jewish passengers – were treated to Yossi’s generosity.
“This made a big impression on the passengers and the staff alike,” a member of the flight told Matzav.com. “They said they had never seen such a thing before. Mi k’amcha Yisroel.”
Yossi remained anonymous on the flight, with a stewardess calling out on the loudspeaker that the refreshments were courtesy of “an anonymous donor.”

Rechnitz copycats?
Has the Jewish poverty been eradicated?! H owns all of our money; we are to properly use what has been landed to us. A proper usage would have been to spend this couple hundred bucks on aniyei Isroel.
Anonymous 4 why don’t you give money to aniyei Israel and shut up
It ain’t your or some other rich guy’s money. It is Hakodosh Boruch Hu’s money, that’s been lent to us. When you throw away “your” money, you steal from the rightful owner.
How nice of you to tell Mr Weinberger how to spend his money. I hope he returns the favor, and tells you how to spend ypur money
I have no “my” money, neither does Mr Weinberger or whatever his name is – it is all H’s money that’s been merely lent to us on the condition that we use it for Avodas H.
Please send water to kfar berryl.
When I fly to israel on el al I buy a tehillim key chain for all the 16 personal working on the plane. I order it from the flyers catalog with my credit card.
Why can’t the airline give out free drinks? The tickets cost a fortune, as it is.
Doesn’t sound anonymous to me.
