Fires in Haifa


Father Roman, the priest of the Haifa kehilla, wrote to us on Friday, November 25, 2016, about the situation in Haifa in the light of the fires in the city.

The Haifa kehilla thanks everyone for their concern and their prayers for our city. We are receiving telephone calls, sms messages and e-mails from all over the country and your support strengthens and consoles us.

The fire is raging far from the house of the kehilla and from the residences of most of the members of the kehilla. Father Roman was in touch by telephone with some of those who live in areas close to the fire. Thank God, all are safe. Somebody did have to leave his home but he has been informed that his house was not damaged.

We continue to pray so that this disaster ends fast and we remember those who have been harmed or lost their property.
