Through prayers, song, speeches and fundraising, Long Island residents continue to come together to support the quest for freedom, dignity and human rights.
LONG ISLAND, N.Y. -- As tension grows along the Gaza border, Long Island volunteers and donors are trying to make a real difference. Retired Suffolk County business owner Richard Cohen got the emotional surprise of his life Monday after he asked merchants - friends and strangers - along the Hauppauge industrial corridor to help him support the Israeli Red Cross.Suddenly, more than $300,000 in donations arrived. 'They're all supporting us.
So these motorcycles can get there within 90 seconds to be able to save lives,' said Rabbi Mendel Teldon, from Chabad of Mid-Suffolk.Across Suffolk and Nassau County, there are rallies to support lives lost - in particular, families of 30 massacred Israeli police officers. Sam Davis, a student at Cold Spring Harbor High School, spent the week collecting more than $30,000. 'I knew for the rest of my life this isn't going to be something I forgot,' said Davis, 16.
