22 year-old Ben Hassin is the Jewish child of an Israeli mother, and Canadian father. Two years ago, he traveled into the depths of the chaotic Arab world to fight ISIS. His friends & family never dreamed that he would be where he is now, in a cold & damp Arab prison, awaiting the trial where he will almost certainly be sentenced to death.
Hassin now has 4 days to trade $120,000 for his life. In a week he could be home with his family, all of this a gruesome nightmare. Or he could, chas v’shalom, be dead at the hands of a cruel enemy government.
This is perhaps ZAKA’s most urgent fundraising campaign to date as it is utterly time-sensitive, and absolutely a matter of pikuach nefesh. Donations will be accepted HERE for a very short amount of time. In just a few days, it will be too late.
Donors should not doubt the fact that their contribution, and the contributions of others like them, will be the deciding factor in whether this young member of klal yisroel will live or die.
ZAKA, Ben’s family, and all those who stand for good beg you — Do not be apathetic. Help us to release this Jewish captive.

Ah! A Canadian father. Maybe this stupid kid has got a chance after all.
Is it really pidyon shevuyim when someone walks into a lion’s cage?
This is not a large sum. How much are the Canadian and Israeli governments each pitching in?
B”H they are over 120000$ mark.
