Rabbi Shlomo Pinkus
Volunteering is key to giving back.
Atzma Karmiel American Football
Shlomo originally played in the Israeli Football League in 2014 for the Naharia Stars. After leaving football behind he was brought back to coach the local city team Atzma Karmiel as the Moral coach in charge of mental performance and building up players for three years.
Yedidim
Getting stuck on the side of the road can be scary for many. Growing up in the mountains where everyone repaired their own cars Shlomo found that he could be helpful in times of emergencies and Joined Yedidim volunteer roadside assistance.
Pikud Haoref National Guard
When the war broke out in 2023 Shlomo saw over 1,000 missiles from Lebanon explode over his home; besides for watching the missiles from Iran shoot through the night. Shlomo started visiting soldiers on the boarder weekly, providing support and providing emotional support for their families. Shlomo then became a volunteer with the Israeli National Guard receiving training in extracting individuals should a structure be compromised from an attack.
ZAKA
As the war continues on in Israel, once again Shlomo received a call that people needed help. The ZAKA organization needed volunteers to help in case of an emergency and with his years of experience with the Jewish Burial Society in New York and Georgia he felt it was a great way to give back should the need arise.
