The residents of Lod have undergone a very difficult week in which they endured riots, looting, and the burning of their homes, cars and synagogues, simply because they are Jewish. 

Students at OTS’s Midreshet Lindenbaum-Lod rolled up their sleeves and got to work cleaning up the devastation, rescuing homeowners’ possessions from within the rubble, raising funds for necessary items like car seats, clothing, or the rehabilitation of the elementary school, and generally providing their community with moral support.

Wishing the residents of Lod and the entire country of Israel days of peace and security.
