As the collective Jewish heart grieves over the terrible loss of life resulting from this morning’s fire in Brooklyn, NY, Nachum welcomed Rabbi Simcha Scholar, Executive Vice President of Chai Lifeline and Dr. Dovid Fox, Director of Interventions and Community Education for Chai Lifeline’s Project Chai to this morning’s JM in the AM to get the latest details and to discuss how Chai Lifeline gets involved in this sort of traumatic situation. From the Project Chai website: “Chai Lifeline’s crisis intervention services offer families, schools, camps, and community groups an unprecedented level of resources and services. Starting in the first few hours after a crisis occurs, Chai Lifeline’s professionals and trained paraprofessionals support the affected families and facilitate community responses.”
