My project of sending ready-prepared meals to Sderot each week
continues as usual and has been expanded to other cities in the south
of the country at this difficult time.
I have just returned
from Sderot, Be'er Sheva and Ashkelon and give my grateful thanks to
all those - both friends and strangers- who brought wonderful donations
to my apartment since the start of this current war. The people of the
south are truly appreciative.
Anyone wanting to donate money,
food, clothes, toiletries, books and games or anything else is welcome
to contact me (054.536.6440 or [email protected]) for
details and to arrange a time to drop donations at my home in Katamon
and I will arrange to get them to the south. Anyone wanting to mail
checks/money may contact me for an address.
With the situation in the south expanding to more and more communities
each day, the OneFamily Fund is working hard to help the families in
these communities – and you can join in the effort.
OneFamily will be providing games, toys, snacks, and toiletry items for
families caught in shelters in southern Israel.
Donations to help cover the cost can be made to the OneFamily Fund, and
sent to our office in Jerusalem. NIS 200 will cover the cost of a
complete package. Donations can be made in honor of, or in memory of
someone, and cards will be sent to acknowledge the donation.
If you would like to contribute actual items to these packages, we are
looking for board games, card games, balls, books (in Hebrew or picture
books), packages of non-perishable snack items (bamba, bisli, etc.),
stuffed animals, and any kind of activity for kids stuck in the
shelters. Items can be dropped off at the OneFamily Center in Jerusalem,
28 Rachel Imenu, in the Katamon neighborhood, or they can be picked up.
To arrange pick up of items, please call OneFamily at 539-9000 and speak
to Dina (Hebrew) or Yehuda (English), or you can email OneFamily at
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
We are also arranging places to stay for families from the South who are
leaving their homes during the attacks. If you would like to host a
family, or if you would like to volunteer on the phone hotline, please
contact us at the above numbers or email address.

dear friends,
We are sending tzitziot to hayalim. Israel's soldiers, religious and
non-religious alike are receiving the tzitziot we send them. The
cotton beged is green which makes it more 'comfortable' for the
soldiers to fulfill this precious mitzvah. Our organization is called
Mezakim, we are completely non-profit. One pair is 30 NIS. Please call Elozor at 052.760.0404

MISHMERET YESHA:
As you may already have heard, the head of Hamas in Damascus has officially proclaimed the
current conflict the "Third Intifada". The roads in Yehuda and
Shomron are being rocketed and land mined. The IDF security coordinators have
warned Mishmeret Yesha leaders of intelligence for a possible 60 terrorist
attacks. The mainstream media will not inform you of explosions on the roads
of Yesha due to a chronic case of political correctness.
The IDF Army Corps of Engineers Unit has placed an emergency request to
Mishmeret Yesha for special bulletproof vests for the Caterpillar operators
that have to enter Gaza FIRST. They are the ones on the forefront of the
whole Gaza
operation. Mishmeret Yesha has received a number of emergency requests for
Medic and other bulletproof vests.
WE URGE ALL SUPPORTERS OF ERETZ YISROEL TO COME TOGETHER AND SUPPORT THE
SAFETY OF ISRAEL'S
CITIZENS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR LIVES. WE ASK YOU HOLD EMERGENCY COMMUNITY
MEETINGS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR MISHMERET YESHA'S EFFORTS.
Some possibilities include a live phone conference with Mr. Danziger for an
event, or even a personal visit just for the cost of paying his airfare to
your community.
Mr. Danziger can be reached in Israel at
011-972-52-468- 9991 Mobile
011-972-2-624- 6885 Fax
Mr. Danziger's e-mail address is [email protected], but there's no
telling when he'll be able to get to his e-mail. He often crawls into bed,
exhausted after long, grueling days of handling emergency situations for
Yesha's residents. As he always says: "The type of stuff we have to deal
with in a day, some people don't deal with in their lifetime."
As the US
Representative of Mishmeret Yesha, I can be reached at (650) 992-0512 or
alex(at)clubmaoz. org. I will mail/e-mail you all the materials about
Mishmeret Yesha's history and current projects (help with designing a website
is desperately needed as well).
The donations can be mailed to
Mishmeret Yesha
25 King George Blvd
Jerusalem 94261
or to
PO Box 100566
Brooklyn NY
11210–9997
Some emergency basic needs:
$32,000 for water packs for Medic Vests
$250 each ceramic plates to insert into the vests that are ready to go, but
are just awaiting the plate insertion.
Each vest needs two plates: front and back.
Please make your checks payable to Central Fund of Israel with a memo
"Mishmeret Yesha." For credit card donations, a Paypal account has
just been set-up and the link will be available in 3-5 working days.

able to forget everything, and just enjoy a longed for taste of home. A taste
of childhood… A taste of sanity..."

2. Spread the word. Send this email to family & friends.

Weve started Care4Chayalim. We are working to get the chayalim in the heart of Gaza thermal underclothing and winter gear including thermal neckwarmers, hats, gloves, socks etc. We are raising money for this and need help in that. We are also in contact with some of the elite units that are in Gaza now fighting, as they have breaks and are able to switch over, we go up to meet them and give the unit the clothing items and some food. Please check out our facebook group care4chayalim
Yeshivat Bney Chayil in Jerusalem will be running the same successful
kaytana program that they ran during the Lebanon war for children in
grades 4-6.
The program will be run by volunteer madrichim and the children will
sleep and eat in the school, in order to keep the costs down and serve
as many children as possible.
The aim of the program is to provide the kids that are being bombed on
a daily basis with a safe place to stay, a really fun program and
trauma therapy as well.
There is already a waiting list for the program which will start this
Sunday, January 4, but tax deductible donations are needed to help
offset the costs.
No special
skills are necessary, you don't even need to know much hebrew to help out (a
warm smile and a warm Jewish heart is the best communication!) contact [email protected] to volunteer
for this ongoing program--they'll continue as long as necessary, but we should
have Moshiach already!
