Rye Brook residents open their homes to Israeli families looking for respite
To help the families of members of the Kibbutz Gevim Emergency Team, the Jewish communities of Rye Brook, Port Chester, Rye and Harrison partnered with Project 24, a group that strives to assist those who were directly affected by the Oct. 7 attacks, to participate in the Thanks4Giving initiative. It brought dozens of families to the U.S., including 16 to Westchester, to give them a week of respite away from the war.
