Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who was affected by the tragedy at Mount Meron on Lag BaOmer last week.

In times like this, those in the diaspora may feel especially helpless regarding their fellow Jews on the other side of the world. While prayer always helps, some also want to contribute financially to the cause. Money is being raised through United Hatzalah to try to provide care for those who remain injured and in need of help. Check out the organization’s donation page if you want to contribute.
