This was a great Mitzva- it was brought to Seagate to help the people be able to do things we in CH cant even imagine. These people need it for their generators that need to be plugged in to pumps to get the water out of their homes and for a small heater and basic things we take for granted. thank you to all who helped make this happen!!

Hatzala is not the only ones there that got

You could always rely on the Katz boys. They have hearts of gold and were raised to be true chasidim.

Anyone who may what to transport gas you MUST make sure it’s in a proper container, if not you are risking your life!!!
It can easily explode very easily!!
Also you can get a major ticket for improperly transporting flammable liquids !!

You’re right, I don’t know them. I meant literally….did they get 250 1-gallon containers? Hijack a Hess tanker? It was a legitimate question, so relax & put your energies into helping relief efforts.

Amazing!
