We, sitting in our homes and Shuls an ocean away….. what can we do to help our brothers and sisters in Israel? We can aid with the physical needs of those defending the People of Israel. A young man by the name of Neil Kalnitz, a brother-in-law of a Rebbi in the Yeshiva, is in Israel now. He and a friend raised some funds and purchased items that soldiers might need. He has been purchasing socks, personal items, power banks, sandwiches, water and deodorant and bringing them to an army base in the South where they have been enthusiastically received. Every single dollar raised through him, is used to purchase from small Israeli companies, thus benefitting the soldiers as well as supporting the local businesses in Israel who are suffering a loss of income due to lack of tourists shopping at this time. Attaches is the information and pictures regarding this effort. We are collecting $ to purchase necessities like sock, underwear, power banks, sandwiches, water and deodorant. We then drive it ourselves down to the temporary bases right outside of Gaza. As you can see in the pictures they are incredibly happy to receive these items. Every single dollar raised is used to purchase from small Israeli companies to support their business as all the tourists are leaving and none are coming right now.
