What YOU can do!
Subject: Another Andi and David e-mail: What YOU can do!
From: Harvey Tannenbaum
Dear family and friends,
We received so many wonderful letters back from everyone. Your
prayers and kind words are so appreciated. But there was a recurrent
theme in almost all of everyone's messages, which is that outside of
Israel, people feel helpless and do not seem to know what to do to help.
David and I had a brainstorming session and tried to think of all the
ways you could help Israel. This list is intended for people at all
stages of commitment to Israel. There should be something here for
everyone, no matter how much history, politics, or Torah you know! Maybe
you could share some of this with your families at your seders...
Educate yourself:
1. You should check with an online Israeli newspaper at least once a day.
This way you are getting the news directly and not sifted through the
lens of CNN. Because Israel is a democracy, and we have folks on the left
and on the right, reading our papers ought to give you a very broad
perspective. You can read the Jerusalem Post at www.jpost.com. You can
read Ha'aretz at www.haaretzdaily.com. You can also read Arutz7 at
www.israelnationalnews.com. Try to read some of the editorials. They
will give you a broad spectrum of the various theories, politics,
opinions of,
and obstacles to peace.
2. Read books about the history of Israel. Familiarize yourself so you
can defend Israel in discussions. There is a great deal of history
currently being rewritten by our Palestinian "peace partners". If you don't
know our history, you can't tell fact from fabrication.
I have included at the end of this list, a list of books recommended
by Dr. Kenneth Stein, professor of Contemporary Middle
Eastern History and Israeli Studies, and Director of the Middle East
Research Program and Institute for the Study of Modern Israel at Emory
University. Pick one or two. Start there.
3. Rent some movies about the history of Israel. Try a few of these for
starters:
"Hill 24 Doesn't Answer" or "Judith" or "Exodus" ,, Kippur
4. Subscribe to the Jerusalem Report. An excellent way to keep abreast
of what is going on over here.
5. Subscribe to any of the media watch organizations. Join Camera:
www.camera.org. or subscribe to Palestinian Media Watch:
pmw@pmw.org.il or Memri: www.memri.org. or Honest reporting:
www.honestreporting.com
You will be amazed at the journalism mistakes and misinformation, at
the lies and omissions that these various publications point out. Camera
recently put out a wonderful little paperback book called "A Record of
Bias: National Public Radio's Coverage of the Arab-Israeli Conflict:
September 26-November 26 2000." Call them and order one. Pass it along
to others.
6. Make sure to see the Academy award-nominated film "Promises."
Promises is about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as
seen through the eyes of Israeli and Palestinian children.
Visit the web site to see where and when the film
will be playing. promisesinfo@cowboypictures.com
Educate your family:
1. Buy a map of Israel and frame it. Put it up somewhere where you and
your kids will look at it. A lot. When there is a terrorist attack, look
where it is. Familiarize yourself with what is the Green line, inside
and outside. Learn where the settlements are. Learn the cities of
Israel. Learn the proximity of Palestinian villages to Israeli
ones. Figure out how many Israels would fit in your state.
2.Discuss Israel every night at the dinner table. What happened today?
What can you do?
3. Go to synagogue. Pay close attention when they say the Prayer for the
State of Israel and its soldiers. If you don't understand the Hebrew,
read the English. We need your communal prayers.
4. At the web site walk4israel.com you can order a free poster of all
the faces of all the Israelis who have died from terrorism. It is very
moving. Order one and with your kids take it to school or synagogue and
put it up.
Give your money:
1. Give to your local Federation. The money does go here. Now more than
ever, when Israel needs to spend more on defense, the funds that you
give go towards social services and the poor and immigrants, things that
fall out of the limelight in times when Israel's security takes precedence.
2. Buy Israeli Bonds.
3. Invest in Israeli Venture Capital Funds.
4. Give money to organizations that support victims of terror. See the
website www.walk4israel.com.
5. Buy goods made in Israel. I know the cotton pajamas often sold at the
Gap, cotton t-shirts, things from J.Jill, and things from Talbots are
all made here. Check the labels. If it says made in Israel, buy it. Buy
foodstuffs. Even if you don't keep kosher. Chicken soup mix is chicken
soup mix. You may as well buy Osem and help Israel.
6. Make donations to the major Hospitals in Israel. Their emergency room
staffs are stretched to the limit. Start with Shaarei Tzedek and
Hadassah hospitals here in Jerusalem.
7. Contribute to Efrat's medical center which serves the entire Gush
area after hours and on weekends for medical emergencies. You can
contact them at kerenefr@inter.net.il
Give your time:
1. Form a Tehillim (psalm recitation) group for all the names of victims
who are
in critical or serious condition. See the web site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Prayers-InjuredVAT (the contact person
there is silvers_avraham@yahoo.com) for an updated list. Have this list
updated and available to everyone
every Shabbat at your synagogue. Say mishebeyrachs (prayer for the
sick) for the names on the list. Divide them up between various
minyanim, but make sure someone is saying a prayer for each person. I
have included the current list at the end of this e-mail.
2. Start a local rally to support Israel. Get all the day schools and
synagogues involved.
3. When you hear an incorrect news story, or an example of unfair
coverage, don't rant and rave. DO something. Deluge the TV station, the
radio station with letters of protest. Send faxes. Make phone calls. When
you hear a news report in which the reporter makes a moral equivalent of
people killed by terror and some Palestinian tale of woe, DO
SOMETHING!!! I have attached a complete list of every TV station and
media outlet. Their addresses, their faxes, their phone numbers. (A
special thanks here to Yisrael Medad at the Begin Center)
4. When you hear someone fairly and justly defending Israel DO
something. Write that senator or congressman a note of praise or thanks.
5.**** Attend Yom Hatzma'aut and Yom Hazikaron events in your
cities.*********
(Israel Independence day and Israel's Rememberance day) If there isn't
an event planned, plan it. If there is a committee working to make the
day a success, get on it! Take your kids. Take somebody else's kids.
6. This is a big job. But if there was ever a group of people more
suited
to the task, it is Americans with their high tech and their sense of
advertising. Go to the web site www.palestinecampaign.org. This web
site
is very slick, very compelling, interesting, graphic,
and full of lies. Israel has nothing like this. We NEED a web site
to rival this. A web site with real truths. Somebody
out there start one!!
7. Host a visiting Israeli. Contact your local Jewish agency and see how
you can help.
8. Send condolence cards to the families who have lost loved ones to
terror. Go to the web site walk4israel.com and get a list of who to send to.
The big ones:
1. Come visit. People are still coming, although few and far between.
Your guide and your host's very livelihood depend on your safety. They
won't take you anywhere unsafe. The hotels, the restaurants will bend
over backwards for you, thrilled that you came. The deals are great. You
can still visit the Dead Sea, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Eilat, the Galilee,
Haifa. These places are still beautiful and desperate for tourists. In
some cases you will practically have them to yourselves.
2. Send your kids here for yeshivas, high school programs, semesters
abroad, summer camps. It is one of the most meaningful statements you
can make to your children and your community.
3. Make aliyah. (I said these were the big ones.)
4. If you can't make aliyah, then raise children whose dream it is to
one day live here. (This one really separates the men from the boys so
to speak in terms of how much you love Israel!!) Be big enough parents
to instill in your children the idea, the vision that living in the land
of Israel is the fullfillment of a dream, yours and theirs. That the
first chance they have to get here, they should take, despite the fact
it might mean they are thousands of miles away. Even if it isn't
possible for you, let them know it should be possible for them... and it
is a privilege that all Jews should take advantage of.
Here is a bibliography of reading as recommended by Dr. Ken Stein of
Emory University:
Below please find several websites and a suggested/abbreviated
bibliography for History of Israel/Zionism and the Arab-Israel Conflict
The bibliography is abbreviated; most of the books can be obtained from
an internet purchase site like Barnes or Amazon. For out of print books
try,
http://www.bibliofind.com; excellent sources for the history of the
conflict, Israel, the Arab world, and the Palestinians are
autobiographies, biographies, and memoirs of world leaders who played some
role in the shaping Israel, the conflict, and the subsequent
negotiations.
