Student Moderator: Liat Weinstock
ZAKA, the UN-recognized humanitarian organization born of the tragedies which have much too often rocked our homeland, has matured from the noble small group which retrieves and buries victims of tragedy according to Halakha into an internationally respected NGO. ZAKA’s Chief Executive Officer, Rabbi Zvi Gluck, details the ever-expanding international reach of ZAKA’s special capabilities. Learn about ZAKA’s involvement in disaster preparedness, special operations, rescues and its unique role and mission. Former Justice Department national security litigator Mark J. Kurzmann, Esq., YU’ 70, will speak about the Halakhic, legal and ethical workings behind some of ZAKA operations.
