In peacetime, aside from his research, Professor Aviv Censor has a large following in Israel for his ultra-helpful videos explaining complex math problems for high schoolers.<\/p>\n
Since October 7th<\/sup>, he\u2019s helped Israelis down South navigate the complex logistical and other challenges after the horrific attack.<\/p>\n Likewise active in the Achim LeNeshek (Brothers-in-Arms) organization protesting judicial reform, Aviv took a drastic pivot just 2 days after the attacks on Gaza Envelope kibbutzes.<\/p>\n He took his family and moved in with friends temporarily in Le Havin, 10 minutes north of Beer Sheva, so he could help in the massive Home Front effort.<\/p>\n The local Achim LeNeshek headquarters were quickly converted into a logistical coordination center and Aviv and other volunteers got quickly to work.<\/p>\n The aftermath of the attack, aside from being beyond devastating and totally unprecedented, required a lot of help with even simple things, like armed convoys to evacuate families, bringing medicines and equipment to just-arrived army units, baby food to families who needed it.<\/p>\n There is a strong need to pick vegetables and fruits to prevent them going to waste.<\/p>\n Cows and other domestic animals need to be evacuated or cared for in difficult conditions (army equipment noise, among others).<\/p>\n Vets and cattle ranchers and farm volunteers need transport and other help.<\/p>\n Lots of other non-military needs arise each day.<\/p>\n Just today, he went to sit shiva with various families, to provide comfort to mourners.<\/p>\n The volunteer effort is a truly massive one in the South, just as in the North and Center, a testament to the resilient and helpful spirit of Israel.<\/p>\n The Technion community is immensely proud and supportive of Aviv and our many other volunteers, as well as reservists and soldiers on active duty.<\/p>\n We pray for their safety and for better times very soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
