Erela Sabag, a current Detroit
Shinshiniot (an Israeli teen
program), delivered
heartbreaking
testimony from a
friend who managed
to escape from the
desert music festival
near the Gaza-Israel
border, where Hamas
attacked and left an estimated
260 dead.
Liraz Baksis, a former Israeli
emissary to Jewish
Detroit, expressed
in her testimonial
video that the
previous 48 hours
were a nightmare

number of messages from
people outside of Israel, Detroit
included, asking how they can
help. They already are, Baksis
said.
