24 Hours A Day

In the world we live in, there’s really no such thing as someone being available 24 hours a day. Everything shuts off at night – businesses, offices, stores, and organizations.

But at LRBC, when we say we’re available to help 24 hours a day, we mean 24 hours a day.

Never Feel Alone Again

There are times when a Yid who is in the hospital might feel they are alone and vulnerable, without anyone to rely on for help or guidance.

Think Friday night.*

Think Erev Pesach. 

Think 3:00 in the morning.

But – although you might feel alone, you’re not.

Here’s what happened to Meira and Yosef Klein:**

Late one night, Yosef began to experience some serious symptoms. Hatzalah, suspecting a heart attack, sent him straight to Jersey Shore. The doctors wanted to perform a potentially life-threatening procedure to prevent serious damage. Meira was completely alone, vulnerable, and extremely afraid to make such a critical decision by herself.  It was 3:15 am. There was no one she could speak to, no one she trusted was around to guide her. So she picked up the phone and called Bikur Cholim. She had no idea if anyone would answer – it was 3:00 in the morning, after all – but she had no other options.

To her shock and relief, a volunteer picked up right away, and connected her to the people she trusted to help her make the monumental decision to go ahead with the procedure. She called back a few days later to thank Bikur Cholim for saving her husband’s life, and for providing support and guidance when she was completely alone and desperately needed advice.

We’re Here for You

At LRBC, someone is always, always there to help.

No matter what time of day it is, no matter what time of year.

Someone at LRBC will be there to guide Yidden through any medical crisis or situation.

All you have to do is REACH OUT.

JUST CALL. 

24/7 Hanover Hotline: 732.905.3020

LRBC is there to help with any medical-related need, any time, anywhere.

*In matters of pikuach nefesh, when halachically permissible.

With the backing of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, Agudath Israel of America has taken up the cause of the Jewish communities scattered throughout Ukraine, together with the Shma Yisroel Foundation, under the leadership of R’ Shlomo Noach Mandel.

Since its founding a century ago, the Agudah has been working tirelessly on behalf of Jews around the world.

The Agudah has been networking with various organizations involved with the kehillos in Ukraine. Many Jews have, Baruch Hashem, managed to flee the warzone. However, there are still many Jews who must be evacuated.

In addition, thousands of Jewish refugees require food and basic necessities.

There is a desperate need for funds to help Ukrainian Jewry. The cost to evacuate each individual can be over $10,000. One bus can cost a few hundred thousand. They also need to be provided with food and shelter once they arrive at their destination.

The situation in Ukraine is getting more difficult with each passing hour, and it is vital that we evacuate everyone before it will be too late.

This money will be distributed among the various organizations so that every single dollar will be put toward helping the refugee families. 

We have pledged to match the first $5 million that are donated

Please partner with us in this most important cause. May Hashem protect

Klal Yisrael, and may we only hear good news.

I am currently in a car in Poland on the way to the border to see and visit the refugees as they cross the border from Ukraine into Poland. I just visited a hotel in Warsaw that is full of refugees and now I’m going to see how they come over the border.

In the meantime, we are continuing our hatzolah work in Kyiv and the rest of Ukraine. Today, four busses left from Kyiv. Two left from the shul and two left from our assisted living home.

Today, we made the very big decision to move the elderly people in the assisted living home in Kyiv since it was too much of a danger for us to wait any longer. We decided that we had to get them out now.

Also today, we began renting a camp near Munkatch in western Ukraine, and that is where we took the elderly people from the assisted living home. We also are taking people there from our camps in Premishlan, Belz and Yampoli. These are all refugees who can’t or don’t want to leave the country right now. The new camp has 350 beds. It is a huge undertaking to get everyone there and to run the camp, but we hope it will be a good place for the refugees to continue putting their lives back together as much as possible under the circumstances in which they are living. We want them to feel that they are able to have a semblance of a normal, Jewish life, and not like they are only refugees.

Help Us Continue To Save Lives

All of the people who came to the border today got through, boruch Hashem, and we are currently working on continuing this lifesaving work. I want you to know that I am getting calls every few minutes from people all around the world who are crying that they have relatives in Ukraine that they can’t get out. Tomorrow, two busses will be leaving from Niezhin, in addition to the busses leaving Kyiv, like they have been doing every day. People are also begging us to arrange for busses to get people out of other places like Chernikow, but it is simply too dangerous to do that right now. I feel that now is a time that we can work to save lives. We have an opportunity that may not be available much longer. We have to chap arein to do the best we can to save as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. 

The expenses are building up exorbitantly. We are spending upwards of $200,000 a day to save people and take care of refugees. I ask everyone to please give what they can to help us save lives and make the refugees feel better and more at home until will be able to bring them to a safe place to continue to rebuild lives.

Last week, the jews in Ukraine woke up to a terrifying nightmare. The fear was overwhelming, the panic overpowering.

The Russian army is advancing on major cities in Ukraine, and is now evident they will do anything in their path of destruction. It is imperative that we relocate the Jews who are left while we still can.

Busses are needed urgently to evacuate these Jews. Tremendous traffic jams and exorbitant prices being charged by local bus companies are hiking up the cost of each bus to a prohibitive $30,000. This is all before the refugees arrive to camp. Once they arrive, the costs are even higher, for food, shelter, and security.

This is an opportunity of Hatzalos Nefashos that you may never experience in your lifetime. Rabbi Y Bleich, Chief Rabbi of Ukraine is calling on jews from around the world to assist with this situation of pikuach nefesh.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for standing at our side. We are hopeful that once again you’ll be able to be there for us.

May Hashem watch over you and the entire Jewish people.

As the Russians advance on major Ukrainian cities, the terror is taking on unprecedented heights. The atmosphere is one of panic and helplessness.

Busses are being arranged to urgently transport the Jews of Ukraine to safer part of the country. The roads are snarled with traffic jams. A trip that usually takes three hours can now take eighteen hours.

Once the fleeing families reach the safety of the refugee camps, they require food and other basic necessities to survive.

The budget for this rescue operation is at least $2 million dollars.

The declaration of Russia recognizing Luhansk and Donetsk — and the announcement that Russian troops will move into the area — is basically equivalent to a declaration of war. Putin sees the Luhansk Republic and the New Republic as encompassing all of the oblast, which means he’s saying that he will move further into and invade Ukrainian territory.

There was a meeting of the Ukrainian Security Council on Tuesday evening (Kyiv time), after which an emergency situation was declared. An emergency situation doesn’t mean martial law, but it does give the police and the army certain rights. There will be checkpoints, closures of certain roads at certain times, and they’ll be beefing up protection of strategic locations throughout the country.

All of this increases the pressure on the Ukrainian population and makes it even more crucial for people — especially those with children — to be able to get out. As I’ve said previously, we’re in the process of setting up a base 100 miles outside of Kyiv that can accommodate 350 people, but we are short of funds to finish it. We’re also still looking further west in the event that we’ll G-d forbid need a second site even further away from Kyiv.As of now, military analysts still think that the main incursion will take place in the south, then move east to west from Luhansk toward the Black Sea and west to east on the Black Sea toward Luhansk. This will give Putin a ground corridor between Russia and the Crimea.

This will close off practically all Ukrainian shipping (which has already been disrupted) because the Sea of Azov is off those southeastern oblast parts of the country. This means that supplies will become even more expensive, and harder to obtain.

UPDATE IN REAL TIME: As of 5:00 am Kyiv time, Putin announced a “special military operation” in Ukraine and the invasion has begun. Explosions are being heard right now in Kyiv, Odessa, Kharkov and other Ukrainian cities.

We have already started evacuating people from Kyiv. Another 150-200 people will be leaving today. These people need heat, food, generators, everything required for basic day-to-day living.

The president here has been urging people to stay calm. The Ukrainians want to protect every inch of their country and to not allow Russia to invade or take any part of it.

We are doing everything we can to prepare the Kyiv Jewish community. A new boiler will be arriving for the main building of the camp outside of Kyiv, and a new generator was purchased as well. We’ve stocked up on all the non-perishable food and the meat should be delivered in the next day or so. All of this, of course, requires funding.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Our once self-sufficient community has no choice but to ask for outside help to cover the monumental expenses we’re facing now. And it’s not just those who are evacuating. We need to provide for those who, for their own reasons (like people in assisted living facilities) cannot leave. Besides daily necessities, we have seven buildings that require armed security details.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars are needed to finance this effort to provide our Jewish brothers and sisters with basic necessities during this crisis. Lives are at stake, and it is within your ability to help.

 Please donate generously to support our brethren as they race against the clock to evacuate and keep our people safe in the face of the Russian invasion.
