Shliach Donates Blood for Russia Bombing Victims

Rabbi Zalman Yaffe, chief rabbi of the Russian city of Volgagrad (formerly Stalingrad), went this morning to donate blood for the victims of a bus bombing in his city last week.

About fifteen people are currently being treated for injuries related to the bombing, which has been blamed on Muslim separatists from the southern region of Chechnya. The Jewish community of Volgagrad has reached out to the victims with material assistance and words of comfort.

Six people died in the attack.
