Driving to Bnei Brak, Jerusalem, or just to the center of town and want to do a chessed <\/i>without any particular effort? A new chessed <\/i>resource called \u201cGalgalei Ezer<\/i>\u201d \u2013 Chessed <\/i>on Wheels using What\u2019s Up smart phone app was recently launched and is booming <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A new group as part of the Ezer Mizion \u201cGalgalei Ezer<\/i>\u201d volunteer transport network is now being formed in the Rechovot\/Nes Tziona <\/i>area. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the framework of this group, people with cars are requested to offer their assistance and give people a lift to hospitals across the country or destinations within the city \u2013 with no special effort on the driver\u2019s part. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are speaking of a network of drivers who are anyway driving in a certain direction, so why not earn a mitzvah in the process? I invite every one of the readers to call me and become a partner,\u201d says Yoni Rottenberg, founder of the group in the region and chairman of United Hatzalah, on Staff 43.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Yoni, \u201cAs of now, there are 37 such groups functioning in cities across the country, initiated by Rabbi Meir Quinn from Kiryat Sefer. The groups include more than 1,000 volunteer drivers for Ezer Mizion.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to find out who is driving and to where, each of the groups created a virtual \u201cgroup\u201d with an application for transmitting immediate \u201cWhat\u2019s Up\u201d messages. A group of this kind is currently being organized in the Rechovot area as well. <\/span><\/p>\n
