[CBI] Urgent - IDF Support Initiative

[CBI main mailing list]

Dear Fellow Congregants,

By now we are all painfully aware of the current situation in Israel. With
each passing day the casualty numbers grow, more tunnels are found and
rockets continue to be launched with callous disregard for Israeli
civilians. We all have seen the pictures and video clips of the affected
family members weeping at the funerals of those brave soldiers who have paid
the ultimate price to defend the State of Israel. Especially at these times
we are called to action for Israel and to demonstrate our solidarity with
the Jewish State and the IDF soldiers on the front lines. These soldiers
would really appreciate our support. 　

　

Many opportunities exist to donate money to Israel individually through
numerous charities. However, at this time when Israel is facing harsh
criticism, our Men’s Club and Sisterhood are joining together in a
fundraising effort to demonstrate our solidarity with the IDF. 　 We are
asking that you send a donation, payable to the "CBI Men’s Club" so that we
can purchase food and/or supplies (Shabbat meals, clothing, toiletry kits
etc.) for the Israeli soldiers on the front lines through one or more
reputable charities that have operational offices in Israel and can quickly
facilitate the purchase and delivery of these goods. 　Please include a note
in the memo section of your check for "Men’s Club & Sisterhood Soldier
Drive". 　 By doing this, we as a community will send a message to these
brave soldiers that even though we do not stand next to them physically, we
are behind them 100% and support their efforts on Israel’s and the
worldwide Jewish community’s behalf. Also, if you include a personal note
for the soldiers who will be receiving this support we will attempt to have
them delivered.

　

Please send or drop off your donation to the  synagogue office ASAP so that
we can get these funds to the front lines and support our Israeli brethren.

Sincerely,



Michael Jurist, Nahum Burstein & David Touger
