In the wake of the two brush fires that continue to grow in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, Congregation Or Ami is setting up “day camp” at de Toledo High School until around 2 p.m., Friday Nov. 9 for any Congregation Or Ami families” impacted by fire, school closures or in need of a supportive community.”
The Congregation went to Facebook to share the message and shared the original post from Rabbi Paul Kipnes.
“We will have Shabbat service of support and healing tomorrow,” Or Ami’s post said. “Location and time to be announced (the Pink and Teal Shabbat has been postponed).”
Fires erupted Thursday night and the Ventura County Fire Department told ABC7 that, “the 101 Freeway was shut down in both directions at Liberty Canyon Road after the Woolsey Fire jumped the 101 near Chesebro Road early Friday morning.” The 101 Freeway is still closed in both directions from Las Virgenes to Reyes Adobe.
Ventura County fire officials issued mandatory evacuation orders for several areas including in the Malibu Canyon area, Agoura Hills, Calabasas and Westlake Village.
