Late last week, Limor Ozen — the head of a community center in Acre — received a phone call from Michael, who had just returned from a Rosh Hashanah trip to France and found his apartment ransacked.
The robbers had removed all the food from Michael’s refrigerator and freezer and the rotting remnants had attracted worms and produced a “terrible odor,” Limor said.
In a Facebook post, Limor wrote that she and her husband “could never have imagined that scum could carry out such cruel destruction.”
Limor told nrg that the scale of the damage to the apartment prompted her to decide to help out immediately. Via Whatsapp, she was able to get 17 teens from the city to come and assist Michael clean up his home.
“They scrubbed and organized the apartment, while Michael entertained them with history lessons,” Limor wrote on Facebook. “They didn’t want to leave.”
Michael told nrg that the response of the teens to his situation caused him to shed tears of joy. “Our youth are wonderful and terrific,” he said.
