Message from Rabbi Yaakov Borenstein, Director of Chabad of Longmont
It had been a long, hot and dry summer, so when the rain first began last week, many in Colorado rejoiced. However, when the torrential rains turned into tragic floods, wiping away homes and devastating so many families and businesses, the Jewish community responded. Led by the Colorado Chabad community, the Jewish Flood Relief provides volunteer and free flood supplies to all of Boulder County, regardless of faith, economics, or background who are in need.
With more than 100 volunteers ready to help clean, pump water, pull carpets and provide necessary physical support, the Jewish Flood Relief, generously supported by Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado, is reaching homes from Boulder to Longmont with a deep spirit of Tikkun Olam. From fans, dehumidifiers, generators, and pumps, JFR is ready to help!
