Urgent Appeal from:
Rabbi Shalom Dov Ber Stambler and Rabbi Mayer Stambler, Warsaw
To: אחב״י ה׳ עליהם יחיו
פיקוח נפש
As you are well aware, there is a major war in Ukraine, the likes of which Europe hasn’t seen since the Second World War in terms of the scale of destruction, violence and civilian death. A large part of the tragedy is the millions of refugees and tens of thousands of Jews who are escaping the war zone – includingthousands who are streaming across the border into Poland. We don’t have the luxury of watching it from afar and offering sympathy – they are arriving literally on our doorstep. We have to respond and act. Thousands are calling daily, from both sides of the border, begging for assistance.
Current Activities – this is what our emergency operation consists of:
● Transportation from the border to Warsaw and from Warsaw to their next destinations
● Accommodations for 200 people per night in an assortment of apartments, hotels, and other facilities
● Food for 400 people, including some hot meals and other basics, served in our center and by delivery
● Additional Support consisting of medical care, psychologists, medicines, diapers and other needs
This is a massive operation that is above and beyond our normal capacity. We’re doing it because there is noone else. One example: As a temporary emergency measure, due to a shortage of beds, we rented an entirehotel in Warsaw to house 300+ refugees from Ukraine. The total bill will be $275,000 for this month alone.
Urgent Accommodation is needed for 200 refugees for the entire coming month incl. Passover Until April 30th.
