Andrew Jacobson of Swampscott, a freshman at Brandeis University, is running a half-marathon in Miami on January 24 for Yachad in honor of American teenager Ezra Schwartz who was killed in Israel in November (Ezra was a Yachad volunteer in Israel). After learning that Ezra was killed doing a mitzvah delivering food to Israeli soldiers, Jacobson became determined to do one in his honor. His goal is to raise $3,000 for Yachad.
