Hessed Opportunity: Jew in Need...

UPDATE: THANKS TO THOSE WHO VOLUNTEERED (i.e. Witty) BUT IT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF...TIZKU LI'MITZVOTH!



Dear Stollel Eretz Yisrael,


Here is the deal: Benny Rofeh (sefardi guy from YU) has an apartment in the Germany Colony. He was living there last year while attending Israelight. He left a bunch of stuff in the refrigerator and freezer and returned to America before the Summer to finish up semicha this year in YU. Just this week his family who lives in LA got a call from the Israeli police because neighbors called the cops because they thought there was a dead body in the apartment. Nobody was living there so the cops climbed through a fire escape to find that the place reeked and there was no power.

Bi'kitzur there was some issue with their auotomatic account for paying of electricity and the company cut the power and all the meat spoiled over the last couple months. The place stinks. The neighbors refuse to sleep in the building. His one relative in Israel, his married sister, just arrived in America for the Yomim Tovim yesterday, so he is stuck because he doesnt know anyone in Israel he can trust who is crazy enough to do it. I said I know some guys. He said he'd be willing to pay for guy/guys to go over there and just clean it out and throw it out, maybe light some scented candles. I said he wouldn't have to pay.

Can Anyone Help?

It would be a nice pre-Rosh Hashana gathering. This also sounds like a job for Witty. Chopstix...spread the word to him.

Comment, Call, or Email me for more details...
