Hurricane Harvey- Chabad Helping In Texas

This is copied from an email forward I received. You can help donate to Chabad and they are also helping get kosher foods to the area of Houston. Which has run out of kosher meats.

One thing I’d like to add. Recently the world saw the “worse” America – that has play out on TV and yet this horrible storm has shown the world that the “Best” of America is out there helping each other and Larger and Stronger then those who are trying to Rip America Apart through horrible Racism.

I want to THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED! Weather you are in the “Thick of it all” and helping your local neighbors, or are in distant towns, lands etc.

May Hashem see this amazing kindness that has been brought forward. B’H

May everyone have a RESTFUL Sabbath!

Grappling With Disaster in Texas Dear Friends, As so many of us worldwide keep our hearts focused on Texas, please join us in praying for the safety and welfare of every one of its residents. Our sages teach us that along with prayer, resolving to perform additional mitzvot and Torah study on their behalf, and especially performing the mitzvah actions, can do much to assist everyone in need. The heart-tugging stories of love and care from the disaster areas, stories of unbridled human caring irrespective of political and other differences, can surely serve as beacons of light for us all to focus also in “normal” times on the shared destiny and innate goodness of humankind. Some of the light emerging from this still-unfolding story has been ignited and spread by Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries in Texas. Utilizing every possible means at their disposal – and then some – even as many of them contended with flooding in their own homes and institutions, they spearheaded creative efforts to provide shelter and food for many in need, mobilized citizens to check up on other citizens, amid an array of other activities, as needed. Needless to say, these efforts continue apace. You can donate to a special disaster relief fund here. —The Chabad.org Team The Latest from Texas With Stores Flooded, Kosher Food Has Run Out in Houston Chabad-Lubavitch of Houston is hoping to truck in supplies from N.Y. and Miami By Dovid Margolin Read As Houston Flood Waters Rise, So Does the Kindness of Strangers Selfless assistance from anyone who hears the call By Faygie Levy Holt Read Hurricane Harvey Relief Comes From Unlikely Places International fundraising effort to help Texas flood victims By Menachem Posner Read A Chabad Rabbi’s Hurricane Harvey Diary Chronicle of a Houston-area rabbi’s thoughts, feelings, and actions By Chabad.org Staff Read How Chabad is Using Amazon for Relief in Houston Donors can “pick up” basic supplies from online store for Houston residents By Dovid Margolin Read Chabad in Houston Takes Action as Rain and Flooding Continues Helping in person and online, even as Chabad emissaries cope with their own flooding By Faygie Levy Holt Read Texas Jewish Communities Grapple With Catastrophic Flooding At least five killed by Hurricane Harvey; houses and cars under water in Houston By Faygie Levy Holt Read
