The latest news in Israel has shown that a bomb shelter is part of life here. Unfortunately, not every home has a reenforced room. Therefore, having access to a decent one is important. I was consequently, pleased to see this bomb shelter/synagogue clean up project that an almost Bat Mitzvah in Jerusalem is undertaking. I have personally attended this synagogue and bomb shelter, and definitely agree that it is in need of face lift.
Bomb shelter/synagogue clean up project description
Chaya, Briyah’s mom described the project:
“Living in Israel, bomb shelters are a necessary part of our lives. Here in the heart of Jerusalem, space is precious and funds are slim. And so, our local bomb shelter also doubles as our beloved Synagogue – Kol Rina. This unique bomb shelter/synagogue is also, unfortunately, A WRECK.
My daughter Beriah decided to make her Bat-Mitzvah project the ‘Bombshelter Make-over’ and we need Your Help! Every bit of what we raise will go towards making this Bomb shelter-Synagogue a place of not only PHYSICAL, but also SPIRITUAL REFUGE, in challenging times.”
Briyah has set up a Go Fund Me campaign to help with supplies. You can hear how she describes her project here:
