Article: One of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded has hit the Philippines. It is believed more than 10,000 have died from the storm. A typhoon is a tropical storm in the Western Pacific Ocean, similar to a tsunami. The typhoon has wiped out everything and people are scrambling for food, shelter and to meet vital needs. Jewish relief groups have gone to the Philippines to
help, remembering how the country saved more than 1,0000 Jewish refugees during the Holocaust.

Discussion:
- How do you think the children in the Philippines feel right now?
- If you suddenly lost your house and all your things, what would you need most?
- If you had only 2 minutes to grab something from your home before fleeing, what would you take?
- How can we help the people of the Philippines?
