Atlanta BBYO Responds to Tornado
On Monday morning March
24th, a tornado struck Atlanta,
killing three people, injuring hun
dreds and leaving thousands
homeless. The tornado started in a
low rent housing project, went
through an industrial area, con
tinued through a very fashionable
neighborhood including a half
million dollars of damage to the
Governor’s mansion before dis
sipating.
By Tuesday, April 26, Atlanta
Council BBYO members swung
into action in order to aid the tor
nado victims. Working with the
public and private agencies in
Atlanta, it was determined that the
greatest immediate need was for
clothing and food. Despite the first
two days of Passover, Atlanta
BBYO members started a food
and clothing drive.
Under the direction of Allyson
Perling, all 38 BBYO chapters in
Atlanta were contacted. Helping
Allyson were Susan Berkowitz,
Jeff Lewis, Lynn Krauss, and Mar
ty Levensteim.
Within days, the Atlanta BBYO
office, the collection point, was
filled with food and clothing. By
the end of the drive, two truck

loads of food and clothing,
representing well over a thousand
pounds, was delivered to the Cen
tral Presbyterian Church in Atlan
ta for'distribution to needy torna
do victims.
Dr. Ira Sheier, director of
Atlanta BBYO said, “I was truly
amazed at the immediate and
overwhelming response by all
Atlanta BBYO members. It seem
ed that within hours the office star
ting filling up with clothing and
food that chapters had collected."

Hillel Rabbi ‘Runs for
Life’ at Boston Marathon
BOSTON — The cheering
throngs lining the 26 miles, 385
yards from rural Hopkinton to
downtown Boston had dwindled to
trickles of spectators by the time
Rabbi Richard Israel — muscles
aching, feet blistered, body ex
hausted — reached the finish line.
But the 45-year-old Boston area
director for B’nai B'rith Hillel
Foundations had done it — run the
grueling Boston Marathon.
He finished more than two
hours behind the record time (2
hours, 9 minutes, 55 seconds) of
graduate student Will Rodgers,
winner of this year's race.
But he finished. It exhilarated
him.
The first rabbi ever to compete
in the famous race.
A self-described “non-athlete,”
Rabbi Israel began a regimen of
“running for my life” 18 months
ago, after several of his friends had
frow JiMrt aUmkH'tftttVttt-
His jogging increased to 10
miles daily; he shed 40 overweight
pounds, toned his muscles and
"got into great shape.”
Good enough to be one of this
year’s 2,041 men and women
marathon entries.
The race passed through Newton
Centre, where Dick Israel lives, 20
miles from the starting line.
He collapsed there.
“I felt like I was wearing sand
paper socks," he said later. “I un
derstood why the last six miles are
called Heartbreak Hill. I was
about to drop out."
But another competitor, an
elderly Japanese man, grasped the
rabbi’s hand to encourage him.
Together they plodded up the tor
tuous road, spectators cheering
them on.
‘‘The exhilaration, the
camaraderie — they're worth all
the torture and pain," Rabbi Israel
said.
'tliitMMl next year, he sstys, “I'll
probably compete again.”

was Ms. Terri Bagen, assistant
director of Atlanta BBYO. “When
we started the drive, I expected to
be able to take all the donations to
Central Presbyterian Church in
my car. I soon realized this was
impossible and we were able to ob
tain the use of a tfuck to deliver all
the donations. The youth did such
an outstanding publicity job, some
local merchants donated food
stuffs in addition to donation’s
from BBYO members and
families,” concluded Ms. Bagen.
