On Wednesday evening, May 30, the Chicago chapter of Friends of ATZUM will host their 7th annual gathering to benefit Israeli Survivors of Terror. The event will include presentations by ATZUM’s founding executive director, Rabbi Levi Lauer, as well as Evyatar Alush, a 21 year-old Israeli security professional who was caught in a terror attack with his family in the Israeli city of Ariel at the age of 6.
Evyatar will discuss the death of his father in the attack, the physical and emotional scars born by his mother, his path through pain and poverty to success in high school and the Israeli Defense Forces, his refusal to play the role of victim and his experiences volunteering as a counselor for terror victims and their children.
Every dollar raised from the event will be distributed to Israeli survivors of terror attacks or used to provide their families with desperately-needed educational resources.
