Our community has compiled a list of ways that we can support Israel in their war against terror. Each section below contains a number of options where you can take action and help our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel.
Tefillah is our most potent and precious weapon. When a prayer is uttered from the depths of one’s heart, motivated by true distress we fulfil the Biblical mitzvah of prayer. Our Tefillot can be said using any words and in any language.
There are several rallies and events being coordinated for the coming days across New Jersey and New York. We must do all we can to attend and show our unwavering support and dedication to our beloved brothers and sisters in Israel.
Urge them to cosponsor a new bipartisan resolution to stand with Israel.
We all want to know how we can practically help and send physical support to our Chayalim and those suffering in Israel. There are of course multiple different agencies, organizations, funds, and individuals, who are all making significant efforts to get security supplies, food and clothing to those in need.
1) Ben Porat Yosef, is collecting funds for Lev Echad to purchase and send vests and helmets to chayyalim who are members of our Shlichim’s families in Israel. We have “adopted” the city of Ofakim – one of the areas hit very hard by the terrorist attacks, and the home neighborhood of some of our Shlichim. We have collected funds for toys and games to be distributed there to children who have been in shelters. We will also be sponsoring a carnival in Ofakim as well for the children there.
