Pizza, Will Travel: Although many residents of the North fled their
homes, many had no option but to stay put. “It is these people, confined
to their bomb shelters, who need the most help,” declared Rabbi Joel Zeff,
director of the OTS Max and Gianna Glassman Center for Humanity. Zeff
has been traveling throughout the north, distributing toys and games for the
children and special deliveries of pizza for shelter inhabitants and
soldiers on duty. “The Center for Humanity is obviously concerned with
humanitarian issues,” he explained. “We view this as an act of tikkun
olam in its most basic sense.”
