My Rabbi provided a couple organizations that provide support directly to the soldiers and civilians in need.

In case anyone is interested.

Magen David Adom
Zaka Rescue and Recovery


I posted Am Yisrael Chai because I ran across an article that really struck me and thought this was a good time to mention it as I see and read about the numbers of our people suffering and dying.

Snips - 1 Sep 2009

We read each Passover on the Seder night that in every generation someone stands up to annihilate the Jews and the Almighty saves us from their evil hands. Since our dawn as a people we have survived countless attempts to destroy us.

The most serious attempt to obliterate the Jews took place in Wannsee Villa in Berlin where the decision to carry out the Holocaust took place. But that also failed and a mere 60 years later the prime minister of a powerful and successful Jewish state enters the building and declares that those who planned have failed and defiantly writes the words Am Yisrael Chai – the nation of Israel lives.

But as one thinks about this, two things come to mind. First we must recognize that threats to the Jewish people are serious. Those who stated that they wanted to kill us before meant it and those who say so today also do. We must always be vigilant. Iran must be stopped. If America won’t do it, Israel must.

The second thought relates to how the people of Israel live. According to Judaism, real life goes beyond the concept of breathing and having blood flow through our veins. Real living means existing with a purpose and connecting to G-d and others. The Torah has some of the most forward thinking and compassionate laws that have become the basis for any moral and civilized society. Jews have always been the world’s moral conscious. This is one of the reasons that we have been hated so much over the centuries.


I hope I've not offended anyone by posting the above, but it helps me cope with all of this trauma and hatred to Israel and her people.
