Like so many of you, I have been reading non-stop and watching the news coming out of Israel, as well as communicating with my friends in Israel who are living during these unprecedented days of suffering and sadness in the loss and disappearance of family, friends, and fellow Israelis.
Many have asked me how they can help Israel and where they can contribute to support our people. There are many good causes, and I offer J Street’s site below for you to look and then decide the best avenue through which you can contribute and make a difference.
There will be ample time to analyze what went wrong with Israel’s intelligence and the political ramifications that this historic failure and the war against Hamas will mean for Israelis and innocent Palestinians.
Now is the time, as I stated in an earlier blog-post, for the Jewish people to stand united with Israel, to give our full moral and emotional support to our people there, to condemn Hamas’ inhumanity and brutality, and to pray for the well-being of our soldiers fighting this necessary war and the hostages taken so cruelly from their homes and families.
Some information on Israel funds. I think I will give to Magen David Adom.
Thank you, John!
We donated to two organizations yesterday, including Magen David Adom, where Michael Bloomberg was matching all donations. I have the email from his appeal if you would like it.
Mike 🙏
