  • Meir Fund is an American Orthodox rabbi, Kabbalist, and spiritual leader of Congregation Sheves Achim, 1517 Avenue H, in Brooklyn, New York.

"We felt the pain of the Indian plight. We wanted to build bridges and we felt that Succoth would be an appropriate time since it is a harvest festival."

"If I say I'm swimming in the Pacific, it doesn't mean that I'm swimming in water that's 10,000 feet deep, he said. I could be walking in a puddle at the end of the ocean. And that's what is sometimes misleading. But the Kabbalah is an ocean, and there are parts where anybody can swim, and parts where you have to be a very good swimmer." (en)
