MAKE IT A HABIT TO SUPPORT ISRAEL!
We want - and need - our shul community to support Israel, on a regular basis!
Make it a habit! Commit yourself to regularly help Israel: Do something meaningful every day - or every week - at a specified time!
I. Engage in ACTIVISM
~ Call our Senators and Congressman – and reps from other Districts too – ask for their immediate support of foreign aid for Israel
* Sign up to receive AIPAC’s “Alerts”, Follow this Link
* These “Alerts” will enable you to write – or call – congressional representatives in less than a minute!
* Foreign aid packages are being debated in the House this week.
Make your voice heard!
~ Write a “Letter to the Editor”: National and local newspapers – and TV stations – are increasingly hostile to Israel. They need to hear from us!
* Sign up to receive CAMERA’s “Alerts”, HERE
* Sign up to receive Honest Reporting’s “Alerts” HERE /
* These “Alerts” provide you with information and ideas about what to write
* Also, frequently, these “Alerts” will enable you to sign a Petition in just a few seconds related to biased or totally inaccurate news coverage
* For example, go here, and sign a Petition protesting the NY Times and Washington Post’s reliance on a photographer who is a known Hamas supporter:

~ Join the Sunday “Run for Their Lives”: Go for a “run” with others, or just go for an 18 minute walk, at the Veteran’s Park flagpole, in Randolph. You’ll be part of a global initiative calling for the immediate release of hostages.
* Write to the White House often. *
II. Educate Yourselves
* There are many ways to learn more about Israel, and thus be better armed to support the country
* For example, this week, try signing up to read Rabbi Daniel Gordi’s “Israel from the Inside”. It’s a fabulous newsletter providing insights about what’s happening in Israel.
