LAWRENCE, KS — In the wake of a devastating line of tornadoes that claimed two lives in a rural part of Kansas, the Chabad-Lubavitch Jewish Student Center serving the University of Kansas is offering any assistance to those in need.

Of particular concern to Rabbi Zalman and Nechama Dina Tiechtel, co-directors of the Lawrence-based center, are the fate of students at Kansas State University, an hour and a half away in the city of Manhattan.

ìI called all of the students we know, and so far theyíve said that no one is hurt, thank G-d,î said Zalman Tiechtel, who added that the late-night storms kept most of his town awake Wednesday night. ìThey all said that it was pretty scary.î

Initial estimates released by the Manhattan school, which cancelled classes on Thursday, put the tornadoís cost at more than $20 million.
