Two Lakewood families lost their belongings in this morning’s fire.
A fund has been launched to assist the families.
The fund was endorsed by:
HaRav Elya Ber Wachtfogel shlit”a
HaRav Simcha Bunim Cohen shlit”a
HaRav Yosef Weisblum shlit”a

Nebach. (I’m not saying not to donate! It’s an opportunity for chessed!)
where was the fire? Was it reported in the news?
Why are these families not covered with fire insurance???
Do people in Lkwd not purchase insurance? Home owners? Renters? Life?
They didn’t have renters insurance.
suggestion
for future
in every lease there should be a requirement for renters to have renters ins
it is not much money a month …and should be required
BH no one hurt and IH klal Yisrael will help
i assume lakewood has some organizations
but if not
kupath ezra in monsey has a dept for furniture
and i think someone in havestraw has a way to get free or very cheap new appliances…
Can you find out who can get the families appliances for cheap/free?
Tizku Lmitzvos.
This is a good time to remind everyone that if you’re renting then you MUST buy renters insurance
Also wondering where it was. ?
I don’t have renters insurance although I am a renter. I shall now make a donation to these families in need, in lieu of the renters insurance that I am lacking. May H’ insure me on the zchus of this mitzva.
I think everyone should try to give here.
Regardless of if they had renters insurance or not, it usually only helps reimburse a percentage of replacement costs.
What I’ll never understand is why young couples often don’t have term life insurance.
At a young couples age it’s extremely reasonable (a few hundred a year) as opposed to the alternative of the whole kehilla having to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars all due to the negligence on the husbands part.
