You’re amazing, thank you for making this in light of everyone’s current search of news on war. This is a beautiful way to bring some light to the difficulties. Some “mi ki amcha Yisroel” moments should bring zechusim needed for a yeshuah!

Kosher Scotland, a tour operator in Scotland, was expecting a group from Israel tomorrow. Everything was planned and ready to go- hotels, food, and activities. Since that group can no longer participate, the tour operator offered the trip to anyone stuck in Europe, free of charge!

A friend was diverted to Cyprus along with 2,500 other yidden. They were lost with no accomodations, food, or knowledge about the area. Within hours various askanim had set them up in an apartment, and arranged Shabbos meals at Chabad (a few hundreds joined!)- this story played out hundreds of times for all those stranded.

A few hundred yidden were stranded in Rome. Within hours the Jewish community set up a WhatsApp group where anyone could reach out with requests for accommodation, food, and more.

Someone emailed me after getting diverted to Rome and I passed it onto Rabbi Lazar.

They emailed back,

"thank you

we did indeed eat there - was enjoyable. these "events" are always unique in that you are thrust together with people from backgrounds you wouldn't usually spend Shabbat with - from the Tzahal commanded who kept getting called from the army with issues to the yerushalmi rav, etc etc

the sefardi shul we went to this morning - a historic place - said avinu malkeinu (o Shabbat!!) according to the rav haRashi's request

thanks"
