Chabad of Downtown, Ft. Lauderdale, sustains heavy damages
Stuart Katz, general manager of IsraAir, never thought he’d spend an all night session on the phone with rabbis from Chabad. But that’s what happened on Thursday night as members from Lubavitch headquarters’ relief team scrambled to bring thousands of self-heating meals to Florida communities recovering from the wrath of Hurricane Wilma.
By 2 p.m. on Friday, Rabbi Shalom Wilhelm was still burning up the phone lines with Katz as IsraAir used its contacts to find precious cargo space on a flight into Fort Lauderdale. Cargo flights into the stricken area were nearly non-existent, and those flying were already packed tight with Federal relief supplies.
