The world watched helplessly as raging flood waters and 60 mph winds overtook the entire city of Venice, Italy.
Although Chabad of Venice, directed by Rabbi and Mrs. Ramy Banin, prepared for the unusually high forecast of 150 centimeters of high water, calamity struck as the water levels surpassed the forecast and continued to charge in unexpectedly, reaching nearly 190 centimeters, just shy of the maximum flood waters ever recorded in the city more than 50 years ago.
Chabad of Venice was flooded with devastatingly damaging waters, but now it’s your chance to unite and flood Chabad of Venice with love.
Chabad of Venice needs your immediate and generous help to repair, replace and rebuild.
