Nancy Spielberg has been one of the mainstays of the rescue organization, which brings children out of the radiation zone of Chernobyl for rehabilitation in Ukraine and Israel. “We’ve helped 248,000 children,” said the director, Rabbi Yossie Raichik.
Spielberg’s family has been involved with the organization since its inception. Her brother, filmmaker Steven Spielberg, is honorary chairman. Her mother, Leah Adler, attends the fundraising event every year. At 86 she still runs the Milky Way restaurant in Los Angeles. “I’m there 12 hours a day, still making noise,” she told me.
