A new international collaboration between the ZAKA Search and Rescue organization and Chabad emissaries has been announced to provide rapid and professional emergency response for Jewish communities worldwide. The initiative, revealed during the Global Emissaries Conference in New York, aims to combine Chabad's global network of emissaries with ZAKA's extensive experience in disaster zones, terror attacks, and complex emergency situations.
Chabad emissaries often serve as the first point of contact for Jews facing emergencies abroad, frequently dealing with complex incidents and local authorities. This new unit will offer them professional and operational support from ZAKA, along with training in emergency response, locating missing persons, and handling disaster victims with dignity.
Under the partnership, Chabad emissaries will receive training in initial emergency response, practical tools, and professional and halachic guidance. ZAKA's International Unit will provide operational backup, including deploying specialized personnel and equipment when needed. The joint unit, ZAKA-Chabad, will operate under the spiritual guidance of Rabbi Yehoram Ullman and the operational command of Yossi Landau, commander of ZAKA's International Unit.
Dov Vishnitzer, CEO of ZAKA, stated that the collaboration will expand the organization's global reach, leveraging Chabad's presence in Jewish communities to provide aid anywhere in the world.
