Children of Nepal Shluchim Evacuated to Israel
As Rabbi Chezki and Chanie Lifshitz, Chabad Shluchim in Kathmandu, Nepal, continue serving as a lifeline for the hundreds of Israeli tourists and backpackers – both missing and located – the humanitarian crisis in the wake of the devastating earthquake has made it dangerous for their children to remain in the country. This morning, they returned to Israel along with the first wave of evacuees.
While the Lifshitzes continue with their rescue efforts, their four children; Rochel, Shmuel, Rivka and Yitzchok, who have been forced to endure challenging living conditions including lack of food and proper accommodations, have been sent to family members in Israel so that they can continue providing relief and shelter.
The children were placed on an El Al flight, the first commercial flight to leave Nepal, along with Israeli backpackers who have been rescued.
After they landed in Ben Gurion airport earlier this morning, a phalanx of reporters descended upon them in an effort to gain some insight into Chabad’s efforts in the devastated country.
While in Israel, the children will stay with their grandparents in Rechovot.
Katonti
HEROES is not even close to a fitting description for these Shluchim. The self-sacrifice they have to be there to begin with, on a good day is unreal. Now? Katonti/I am humbled…
wow!
These children are true examples of shluchim!
