The Home of Rabbi Sholom Ber and Chaya Elishevitz of Chabad of Bellevue Burns Down Over Shabbos
On Shabbos morning the unthinkable happened.
A devastating fire engulfed the Elishevitz family’s home. Baruch Hashem, everyone made it out alive, though some suffered minor injuries. But within a matter of minutes, everything they owned was gone. Their home was reduced to ashes, and with it, all of their belongings, treasured memories, clothing, furniture and the countless everyday necessities that make a house a home.
In a single morning, an entire lifetime had to begin again.
Anyone who knows Rabbi Sholom and Mrs. Chaya Elishevitz knows that their home was never just their family’s home, it was a home for the entire community. Their door is always open, their table always had room for one more guest, and their hearts were always open to anyone in need. They have quietly given of themselves to so many families throughout the ETC Bellevue community and the MMSC Day School community, offering kindness, hospitality, guidance, and support without ever expecting anything in return.
This is our opportunity to surround the Elishevitz family with the same love and generosity they have shown to so many others. As they face the overwhelming task of rebuilding their lives from nothing, every contribution, large or small, will help provide stability, hope, and the ability to begin again.
Please open your hearts and give as generously as you can. Together, as a community, we can help this extraordinary family rebuild not only their house, but their home.
Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your heartfelt support.
