David Rose, ZAKA’s International Director, will be at Tikvat Israel on September 5th as the speaker for our joint Selichot program with Shaare Tefila. According to its website, ZAKA is “a UN-recognized humanitarian organization that can deploy anywhere on the globe within hours…. ZAKA’s mission is to rescue and recover victims following terror attacks, bombings, or natural disasters.” ZAKA, which is perhaps best known for its sacred work in collecting human remains to ensure a proper Jewish burial, is equally active in the fields of emergency response, search and rescue, and accident prevention.
Refreshments will be at 9:00 p.m., speaker at 9:30 and service at 10:15 p.m.
