Our NCSY teens in Brooklyn have been very busy hosting families that are displaced from their homes, and preparing meals in local food shelters for those who have no access to food. Groups of teens are meeting in Westchester\u00a0and want to mobilize to help.\u00a0 Across Long Island we are busy going door to door, checking on teens and their families, assisting with clean up, collecting Shaimos, organizing food drives, and worked with one shul to preserve their Sifrei Torahs damaged by water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>From several\u00a0conversations with lay leaders to strategize how to continue to\u00a0best utilize our talents, we believe that the best\u00a0idea right now\u00a0is to organize groups of\u00a0volunteers and to send them to specific areas that need assistance. Working together with Achiezer, the Long Island community resource center who is the hub of disaster relief here, we will be directed to respond to specific\u00a0needs in the Long Island area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Our efforts on the ground are desperately needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Please reach out to teens,\u00a0advisors,\u00a0as well as\u00a0your friends and neighbors\u00a0and organize a group who can commit to come on a specific day and time slot to the long island area.\u00a0 Let me know if you can work out transportation for them as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>I will then be able to coordinate where they will go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>If any of you\u00a0know of other disaster relief efforts that we can assist with, please let me know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>You are\u00a0our leaders and have been empowered through NCSY\u00a0to take initiative and help make a difference\u00a0in our Jewish communities with Jewish teens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>I am confident the results will be life changing for you and for those who are on the receiving end of your efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>This is the priority for today,\u00a0so please make every effort to let me know asap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Tizku L&#8217;Mitzvot<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Best,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Carol<br \/>\n&#8212;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Carol Rhine<br \/>\nChief Operating Officer\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>New York NCSY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>555 Willow Avenue<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Cedarhurst, NY 11516<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"516-569-6279\" target=\"_blank\">516-569-6279<\/a>\u00a0(W)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"516-569-6278\" target=\"_blank\">516-569-6278<\/a>\u00a0(F)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:rhinec@ncsy.org\" target=\"_blank\">rhinec@ncsy.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyork.ncsy.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.newyork.ncsy.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncsysummer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.NCSYsummer.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were just\u00a0beginning to recover from Sandy and our region was hit very hard once again from\u00a0this Nor&#8217;Easter they are calling Athena.
