Kosher food for students trapped at OR Tambo
The South African Jewish Board of Deputies on 23 March arranged for lunch and dinner to be delivered to 13 Australian MTA (a one-year Bnei Akiva programme in Israel) students who spent 14 hours in the transit section of OR Tambo International Airport.

They were waiting to catch a flight back home. Their only way home was via South Africa, having caught the last flight out of Israel. They and their parents were so grateful as there was no kosher food in the terminal, and the students weren’t allowed to leave the airport due to COVID-19 regulations.
