Help us Rebuild the Solomon's Home after Fire
Donation protected
Dear Friends,
Please help the Solomon Family to re-build their home and lives.
On Thursday 23rd May, Lag Ba'omer, a massive fire swept through the Ben Shemen forest in central Israel and devastated Mevo Modiim (the "Carlebach Moshav"). Only a few homes were left untouched.
Elisheva & Sruli Solomon, the most unbelievable people, lights of this world - and their 5 children, and one on the way please G-d - came out unharmed. But they came out with next to nothing, just the clothes on their back! Their home - of 10 years - and everything in it, was completely demolished, nothing left.
Sruli, a talented musician (The Solomon Brothers) also happens to be head of security in the moshav. He went from house to house telling people to get out. Some didn't want to leave and he had to call in back-up. He ran to get the shul's sifrei Torah out also. By some miracle (and the help of people like Sruli) everyone was evacuated in time and no-one was hurt. Sruli didnt use the time to get his tefillin, family pics, ketuba or mandolin out.

(Sruli working to secure the area, homes - among his own - burning in the background)
There's been an outpouring of love, support and chesed and the families have got lots of clothes, toys etc. But they need more. They are grateful to be alive and healthy but need help to re-build their home, get furniture, electrical goods, kitchen etc They are now living in Yeshiva dorms with other families. They really don't know what the future holds for them.
(The family on a nature walk a few months ago)
Sruli & Elisheva are too humble to ask for help for themselves. They are usually on the giving end. But we, their friends & family, decided we needed to take action on their behalf.
Please join us if you can.
