During a layover he and his family had on a trip to Israel, Robert noticed that a large group of 400 American soldiers had nothing more than paper sack meals for dinner. Not wanting these heroes to be deprived of a hot meal, he took charge of the situation and spoke with the commanding officer so that he could provide warm meals for every single one of them. In the end, Robert not only bought each servicemen and servicewomen dinner, but generously handed out $50 per person so they could go out and eat at any nearby restaurant they wished. It was truly an extraordinary act of kindness and sacrifice.

Additionally, beyond just Jewish causes, Rechnitz has showcased himself to be a truly broad thinker in terms of his philanthropy – countless individuals have benefited from his generosity and support for a wide range of causes.

Engaging in charitable activities is a great way to give back to your community, and anyone can take part. Donation of both money and time are viable options when it comes to contributing meaningfully to a cause that you feel passionate about, but that’s not the only way to do your part. Education and advocacy are also incredibly useful in raising awareness of vital issues; this kind of effort is just as important as giving financially. Donating doesn’t have to be an expensive or time consuming venture; even small actions can make a big difference for those in need. Every person has something special to contribute, and philanthropy offers the perfect platform from which to do that.
