Sol Levy of Amnons pizza provided fresh hot pies daily to the families to eat there and to families with power just restored.

Rebetzins Hadassah Geisensky and Chanie Wolowik receive delivery of food at Chabad Center where they hosted those affected by the storm.

Even in difficult times, there was a sense of ruach at Chabad.

Dr. Evan Pockriss, a Cedarhurst pediatrician, devoted his time at Chabad to examine sick children.

Chabad of the Five Towns has been a home for those without a home due to the wrath of Hurricane Sandy. On a daily basis the Chabad Center on Maple Avenue has been a place to charge your phones, access wifi, have a hot lunch and dinner. Entertainment by clowns lifted the spirits of so many children and their parents alike. Social workers were available for counseling. “The warmth and chesed that Chabad provides is incredible. It really proves that yidden can find a safe haven under any circumstance. Its a testiment to the strength of our community. Rabbi and Rebetzin Wolowik are truly an incredible team solely partnered with Hashem,” said Gary Weiss of Woodmere.

The Chabad house provided warmth and camaraderie and helped with the healing process. Thank You CHABAD!!!
