Things we can do for Israel

Please note that some of the things mentioned below are happening here in
Israel, but some are things that can be done around the world.


1) I encourage all those in Israel to attend the Kotel Tefilla Rally. In
addition please continue davenning and reciting Tehillim. In Israel there
are hundreds of Tefilla/Tehillim meetings daily all over the country. I ask
that those of you around the world create Tefilla/Tehillim meetings. There
is undoubtedly power in numbers and people davenning together is essential!


2) Please include the following names in your davenning:

The names of the soldiers missing in Gaza & Lebanon are:

GILAD ben AVIVA
EHUD ben MALKA
ELDAD ben TOVA


Please daven for 4 children, some unconscious, critically injured in Tsfat:

Michal bat Revital
Bat-tzion bat Revital
Avraham Natan bat Revital
Odel Channa bat Revital


3) Mass Prayer Rally at the Kotel
Next Tuesday, Erev Rosh Chodesh Av, at 18:00 PM, by declaration of the Great
Rabbi's.


4) Rav Elyashiv has asked everyone to say these 4 short Tehilim for Am
Yisrael: 13, 70, 125, 128


5) Please take one minute to fill in the petition for our kidnapped Israeli
soldiers. I sent you the email earlier today. The link appears below for
those who did not receive it. (Please make sure you confirm your petition by
replying to the email they send you immediately after you fill out the
petition).

6) The Israeli blood banks are running low on blood supplies, and have asked
that a blood drive be organised to meet the country's needs. Please
contribute blood!!! For those in Jerusalem, contact me if you need locations
of points within the city where you can give blood. (hovsha@hotmail.com)


7) Many of you have asked me if it is possible to write letters to families
living in the North who are bearing the brunt of the Hizbullah war. If
anyone would like to write letters to either soldiers or people in the North
who have had their homes rocketed etc... I am prepared to take on the
responsibility of getting the letters to the people they need to get to.

8) Furthermore, there is a huge need for money! Irrespective of how small
the donation, if its possible for you guys to collect money that could
really help. I am trying to use my contacts all over the world for this. We
will use ALL the money we receive for 2 things: 1) To send much needed
supplies to our soldiers on the borders who had no warning of this offensive
and so were called up for duty without any time to prepare. 2) To provide
food and accomodation for the hundreds of thousands of people who live in
the North of the country and have had to leave their homes either because
their homes were rocketed and their buildings collapsed or because the bomb
shelters in their areas are not sufficient to allow them to remain at home
with the constant rocketing of missiles in their areas. People who have
visited the bomb shelters all over the North, have reported
unbelievable conditions!! They are in urgent need of food! Children in the
Golan have rallied together and have contributed their pocket money in order
to buy and distribute food to people in bomb shelters. We need your help!!!
Anyone wanting to contribute can contact me ( hovsha@hotmail.com) for bank details etc...


It is extremely rare for all factions within Israeli government and society
to be in agreement on any issue. The unity and agreement on this issue is
overwhelming for all of us. We are simply not used to feeling united. I sent
a letter to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert telling him that all of us, despite
our political views stand behind the government and army as they battle the
terrorists. I implored him not to give into international pressure and pull
our troops out to soon. I pray that they be allowed to do their job and
complete their task. If not, Israel will continue to be attacked and we will
have to re-enter Lebanon again at a later stage. Please continue to daven!
Shenishma besorot tovot!!!
