Camp Gives Girls a Break from City Under Siege - East Valley Tribune - AZ

Chandler is proving to be a genuine summer getaway for 11 Israeli girls whose hometown of Sderot is incessantly bombarded by exploding rockets fired from just across the border in Gaza… “The city of Sderot is constantly under attack, and it affects the children in a way we can’t imagine,” said Rabbi Mendy Lipskier, camp director and a rabbi with Chabad. As many as 90 percent of the Sderot children have post-traumatic stress syndrome, according to Chabad Lubavitch, which is helping the effort to offer the 11 camps that summer.
