Thumbs Down! Tragedy Strikes Physicists – Husband and Wife – in Dimona Bombing

They were world-class theoretical physicists who immigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union seeking a better future. Instead, on February 3, Lyubov Razdolakaya was killed and her husband, Eduard Gedalin, wounded critically, in a suicide bombing in Dimona. After arriving in Israel, the couple joined the Ben-Gurion University program for immigrant scientists, where they worked together in the lab. But few knew of their significant achievements in particle physics.

ATZUM / Avodot TZdaka U'Mishpat - Justice Works

Terrorism and Jewish Values
Born of values hewn from Jewish sources, a healthy and hopeful Israel must be a society compelled by a search for justice for all its citizens and workers. Addressing urgent needs one person at a time, ATZUM / Avodot TZdaka U'Mishpat - Justice Works, empowers social justice projects to assist those severely disadvantaged by inadequate access to Israeli public protection or private concern. One current project is:

Victims of Terror

In addition to the anguish and pain of mourning and suffering, countless Israeli families have been put at grave risk economically by death, maiming or serious injury. Many of those same families, and countless more, urgently seek relief from the growing unemployment that besets an Israel under assault. ATZUM works to get funds to those families, particularly to those whose major wage earner has been incapacitated.

One Family

One Family works to provide assistance to Israeli victims of terror. They provide a vehicle for people to get involved in helping victims of terrorism in Israel who have been left orphaned, maimed, and traumatized by the recent violence. In Israel, they have three offices where volunteers can assist in a variety of tasks from administrative duties to providing direct aid to victims.
