Ronald Parker, 65, lost his home for the third time during Hurricane Harvey. So did Rabbi Barry Gelman of United Orthodox Synagogue. Parker and Gelman were two of many Houston residents who received five days of assistance and support from students at Shalhevet High School in Los Angeles, who traveled to Houston to help rebuild.
This video was originally published on The Boiling Point, the online student news website of Shalhevet High School.
