One of hosts of Israel’s popular Master Chef program has made a unique video showing how one can make a pizza and cook it in one’s vehicle. The message is for parents to make sure they do not forget their children in a vehicle. While some find the video surprising or entertaining, the message is a most serious one.

Israeli government and NGO agencies have been hitting the radio and TV with infomercials which is hoped will bring people to an awareness that will ensure infants and children are not forgotten in vehicles, an occurrence which chas v’sholom may result in tragic consequences.

Magen David Adom officials announced that it does not take long for temperatures in a vehicle can quickly exceed 60 C (140 F) and this results in a life-threatening situation.

With Israel dealing with unseasonably hot temperatures this week, including an oppressive heatwave, the message is a clear one – children must never ever be forgotten in a vehicle, even with windows left cracked open.
