INFORMATION:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of making a lot of phone calls it would be more efficient if we could do a mass E-mail for those who have E-mail. Please send your E-mail address to lorifern1@hotmail.com. If you do not have E-mail you will still get important information through phone calls. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The concept of “tikkun olam” is central to Judaism. Literally, it means, “repairing the world”. It is a mitzvah, our responsibility. Tikkun Olam allows us to apply our Jewish response to current issues. Right now, Israel is once again, fighting for her life. Whether you support the Israeli government’s strategy or not, we must support those who are risking their lives to protect Israel. Yad Sarah is the largest voluntary organization in Israel, providing a spectrum of free or nominal cost services designed to make life easier for sick, disabled, and elderly people and their families. It has 103 branches and 6,000 volunteers. According to their website, www.yadsarah.org , Yad Sarah saves the Israeli economy approximately $320 million dollars annually in hospitalization and medical costs. One out of every two Israeli families has been helped by Yad Sarah, and over 380,000 Israelis use their services each year. The national emergency continues in Israel and Yad Sarah is working around the clock to meet the needs of citizens in the north, where they have 20 branches. Here are just a few examples of their current work: Hundreds of wheelchairs for wounded soldiers and residents have been airlifted to towns in northern Israel in response to urgent requests. Rehabilitation equipment, mattresses, personal hygiene packets, and thousands of disposable diapers have been distributed, many right to peoples’ homes, despite operating out of bomb shelters and security areas. 10,000 special activity kits for use by 500,000 children in bomb shelters in northern Israel have been delivered by Yad Sarah. We feel that Temple Beth El Oneonta should share in the responsibility of giving to those in need at this very critical hour. Please consider making a generous contribution, and we will send one large donation to Yad Sarah on behalf of Temple Beth El Oneonta. Checks may be mailed directly to the temple, (note Yad Sarah in memo). Please send contributions in no later than October 15th. Thank you . As it says in the Talmud, “If not you, who? If not now, when?” Shalom. Temple Beth El Board of Directors ========================================================================================== |
