It's fairly easy to find free Friday night Sabbath meals at private residences, chabads, or temples. Just go to the websites, look at Facebook groups, etc, for upcoming events.

Granted, temples themselves have fairly costly memberships since they're geared more to families, and the memberships include Sunday and Hebrew school classes; however, some Jewish groups host Shabbat and subsequent meals at various temples periodically, with only the occasional suggested donation. Pay what you want or can afford, even if it's nothing.

Also, there is a market for straight males willing to spend nights with gay men. It's up to the person obviously, and a lot of straight men wouldn't take that route -- but it's one avenue of generating income. To each his own. We all have to eat.

So gay men can't join? Bisexual men?

How much do they have with straight men?

Are we seriously suggesting this young man resort to prostitution to make rent?

^ I'm pretty sure Judaism originally condemns those type of things.

OP wanted suggestions on how to make money and eat (which I'm guessing "survive" implies) in Chicago without a job lined up, so I gave him a few ideas. There isn't much else to say on the topic.

And for the record, Judaism forbids all sex (paid and otherwise) outside of marriage.

Maybe he can be your roommate.

How did Judaism come up in this thread? I took a quick look and I don't see anywhere that he said he's Jewish, did I miss something?

But as TBideon said, you didn't have to be Jewish to get the free food.

Much like how churches have food pantries that give out free food too, even to outsiders.

Free food from Jews is the same as free food from non-Jews.

In case anyone wanted to say "how did homosexuality come up in this thread, if the original poster didn't say he was gay."

I dunno how to respond to that. ;x

I've reread the OP a couple times and just don't see how it's being interpreted that the OP was considering being homeless/looking for handouts.
To me he just sounds like a young man at the edge of his seat dying to get out of Florida and start his life.
