New Series! Jewish History in the Torah


The Mystery of Michelangelo’s Hebrew


Support this Young Man About to be Married

A Message from Israel:

Dear Friends of Israel

I am turning to you with a special request.

My close friend who has been fighting in Gaza for the past year and half, asked me to help raise funds for a volunteer / “lone soldier” who sacrificed everything by making Aliya and volunteering to serve in the IDF.

He is about to get married and his comrades are trying to raise funds to help him pay for his wedding.

He knowingly sacrificed everything for his mission, and it his friends and fellow soldiers undertaking this Mitzvah.

I thought to myself, there is no greater cause to ask for on this holy day.

Please contribute generously.

📢 אחים ואחיות יקרים 🙏

במחלקה שלנו יש לוחם אחד מיוחד – הוא עזב את ביתו ומשפחתו בחו״ל, עלה לארץ מתוך אהבה לעם ישראל, כדי להתגייס ולהגן עלינו כאן.

עכשיו, רגע לפני החתונה שלו, אנחנו רוצים לעמוד מאחוריו – בדיוק כמו שהוא עמד בשבילנו בשטח.

הוא לא ביקש כלום. אנחנו החברים שלו מבקשים – בואו נעזור לו לחגוג חתונה מלאה באור, שמחה ואהבה, כמו שמגיע לו.

כל תרומה, קטנה כגדולה, היא לא רק עזרה – היא אמירה: עם ישראל לא משאיר לוחם לבד. ❤️🇮🇱

If you prefer and desire that it be tax deductible, you can zelle the funds to 917 804 7224 and note that it is for the lone soldiers wedding in Israel and 100% of the funds will be forwarded to them.

Thank you
