Chabad in Nepal, San Remo Day, and Israeli Earthquake Preparedness

(((CLICK BELOW TO HEAR AUDIO)))

Yishai is joined, via phone from Bankok, by Chabad Rabbi Nechemia Wilhelm, who is in touch with Rabbi Chezki Lifshitz and his wife Chani, serving in Nepal. They discuss how Chabad, an organization that provides Jewish services to locals and travelers all over the world, is dealing with the fallout of the massive earthquake and avalanches that have plagued the region.

Then, Yishai makes an impassioned plea to the next education minister to create "San Remo Day." He says that very few people are aware that April 25, 1920 was crucial in the international legal standing for the establishment of the state of Israel nearly three decades later. Marking the signing of the San Remo Treaty, he says, will help Israeli students learn the truth about Israel's legal rights.

Finally, Yishai is joined in-studio by Jerusalem Post op-ed editor Seth Frantzman and editorial page editor Matthew Wagner to discuss the earthquake in Nepal, a place with which Israelis have a special connection. They also talk about Israel's expertise in dealing with natural disasters, and whether Israel is prepared for earthquakes of its own.
