Shluchim Rescued After Harrowing Floods in Bahía Blanca; Urgent Relief Efforts Underway
A catastrophic flood has ravaged Bahía Blanca, Argentina, leaving thousands displaced and in dire need of assistance. Among those affected are Shluchim, Rabbi Shmuel and Shterni Freedman, and their four young children, who faced a harrowing nine-hour evacuation after being trapped in their home on Friday • Read More, Donate
As rescue efforts were underway, the truck sent to evacuate them got stuck in the floodwaters for several hours before they finally reached dry land—just in time for Shabbos. Thanks to the incredible support of Chabad Argentina Central, Rabbi Tzvi and Levi & Etti Silverstein, the Freedmans were provided with food and necessities to make it through Shabbos.
But the Crisis Isn’t Over
The streets of Bahía Blanca remain underwater, and the Freedmans’ Chabad House has suffered severe damage. Their food pantry— which provides for dozens of families and elderly individuals each week— has been completely destroyed. Now, they are working tirelessly to assist their community in rebuilding homes, providing food and medical aid, and offering emotional support to those who have lost everything.
