Rabbanim - A call for action! time to help the Tzibbur not just Yechidim.

Rabbonim all over spoke in their respective shuls on parshas Chayei Sarah about Hurricane Sandy. To those communities spared by the Hurricane the message is you have a Nisayon to be mishtatef in the tzaar of the communities that were affected and devastated by the Hurricane. The fact that our community was spared does not spare us from the avhrayus of nesios ohl and that is our response to the storm. We must get together and help out in any which way possibble
.
Klal yisroel has recently launched many campaigns for yechidim were the response was tremendous, now the Rabbanim stressed is time to help an entire Tzibbur. Whole communities have been devastated there isn't anyone in cities such as Seagate,  Far Rockaway, Manhattan beach, Brighton Beach, Long beach, Belle Harbor, Bayswater that didn't suffer a loss of property damage or their entire homes. In Seagate there are over 300 mishpachos that are Homeless!! we must help these communities rebuild.

There will be asifas and fundraisers in the coming days everyone is asked to help in any which way they can. Its not just money that is needed, they need man power to help clean out the flooded homes and set up temporary shelter.
This Monday the Agudah is having a Kinus Chizuk for the affected communities for Energency Hurricane sandy Relief.
