we're in it together. >> rabbi marv, what was it like for you when you first met the refugees? >> well, we had been there for the sabbath. most of the rabbis got there friday, and the muslim leaders came in on saturday night, and we were all sort of waiting. 'cause we hadn't met them. we didn't know them. we hadn't communicated with them. and it was very exciting. the thing that concerned me the most, and i talked with them about early on, was, being with jews, being with an israeli organization, does it impact on their safety? were there any problems that they might encounter as a result of participating with us? and they assured me, no. >> and when you heard that question, what did you think about that? >> again, it was something that came naturally. i didn't think it was something to be worried about. because when you're doing a good cause, it doesn't really matter. so i wasn't too concerned about that. >> they weren't concerned at all. erin, we met an israaid doctor last year, dr. iris adler... >> yeah. >> ...who came in with the consul general to talk about israaid's work.
