VIN News – Brooklyn, NY – In an effort to get community members more involved in their operations, Masbia Soup Kitchen has come up with a novel fundraising concept: catering simchos at their Coney Island Avenue location. Masbia offers three different options for feeding both invited guests and their regular clients, including serving gourmet fare comparable to what would be found at any wedding hall. The idea is the brainchild of Rachel Steinmetz, a non-profit executive who worked hand in hand with Masbia to develop a plan that would allow the public to share their simchos with Masbia’s clients by sponsoring the food costs for both Masbia’s regular clientele and their invited guests. “Traditionally a Jewish wedding celebration included a meal for the poor,” said Ms. Steinmetz in an exclusive interview with VIN News. “Masbia is reinvigorating this beautiful tradition by opening the facility to Sheva Brachos, Bar Mitzvahs and other celebratory events.” Notables such as Assemblyman Dov Hikind, OTR Media Group CEO Ari Noe and others have held simchos at Masbia in the past and Masbia hopes that others will follow their lead by including Masbia in their upcoming celebrations. Masbia has locations in Williamsburg, Boro Park, Flatbush and Rego Park. They estimate that they have served approximately 250000 meals since their inception in 2005.
With World Cup 2010 fever fast approaching, Digital Kitchen recently worked with ad agency Y&R London and Red Bee productions to deliver a gorgeous, high-intensity TV spot promoting the BBC networks broadcast of the event.

The song is The Dallas Guild (Soviet Science).
LOVE IT! all the colors of the world, coming together for an incredible event
Reminds me a bit of the decent PES intros (1,2 and 3), nostalgia.
@CriticalBanana BBC and ITV do not own online coverage btw, its the local South African t.v
itv have absolutely nothing on bbc. just a bunch of trashy, chavy, degrading programs like jeremy kyle and x factor and football coverage where the deem it acceptable to run adverts during the matches!
Looking at all other world trailers, BBC is best by far.
have you seen that the hyena step his foot on the floor when there was was a beat ?
otherwise, i love BBC spots, they are the bests
Well done, Beeb. Good one
bbc compilations rock! <3
anyone know the song name?
@TheEspionageUK ha ha trailer is all that gave you goosebumbs.the rest gave you shivers,ha ha!
@tenseman08 soccer city
can i use this for a school project ?
Just a shame that BBC’s internet streaming of the last England game was so unacceptably poor. I missed every goal due to the contstant freezing of the streaming media.
Wouldn’t be so bad but we have to own a paid for TV license to watch BBC online, and excuses about heavy demand don’t cut it because ITV1 manage to stream the games fine and cope with the demand.
1-0 to ITV1 in online world cup coverage for me.

@thedallasguild – Everyone LOVES this version, you should put this version on itunes at least, not the mix version, not that there is anything wrong with it, it just doesn’t have the same impact as this one! Can you not put this version on as well????
