This past Friday, a heartbreaking discovery was made: a man, 72 years old, was found lifeless and alone in his home. With no known family, authorities listed him as having no relatives and transferred him to the forensic institute for an anonymous burial. But something didn’t sit right. And when two distant relatives came forward after Shabbat, desperate to lay him to rest with dignity, the official records said otherwise - he had no family. Nothing could be done. Until Zaka stepped in. Our legal team took immediate action. When the Interior Ministry showed no trace of his relatives, we turned to old burial records and uncovered the truth: decades ago, his father's file listed two daughters and a son - proof of family. Armed with this evidence, Zaka petitioned the court. With the help of local police, we confirmed his identity and ensured he would not be buried as a nameless soul. He was laid to rest with the honor every human being deserves. Every day, Zaka Tel-Aviv steps into the breach - rescuing the missing, honoring the dead, comforting the bereaved. Your support makes this possible. Your donation gives voice to the voiceless and dignity to those who would otherwise be forgotten. |
