Dear Fellow Activist on Behalf of Israel, amv"sh
The following were sent to me by very special individuals that are activists on behalf of Eretz Yisroel. They are personal examples of Mesiras Nefesh which in English is hard to translate but basically means self sacrifice. When we speak of self sacrifice we think of the Maccabees who were willing to sacrifice it all in order to keep the pure light of the Jewish Nation burning. The grassroots activists of today that are fighting for Yesha, Judea and Samaria, are the true Maccabees of our day. We are few against the many. Yet with prayer, determination and faith in the Almighty, we give up our sleep and paid salaries to devote time and energy necessary to fight this battle for the Nation of Israel and for Land of Israel in order to observe the words of our H-ly Torah. Please become a Maccabee and join us by making phone calls, pray in front of 770 in Crown Heights on Sunday,November 25th with Tamar, or protest in front of the Israeli Consulate on Monday November 26th with Buddy and Eva or protest in Annapolis on Tuesday, November 27th with Helen from Afsi , or lobby on Capital Hill on Tuesday on November 27th with Gennady. If none of the above is possible then do whatever you can. Speak constantly about this terrible decree, Heaven forbid to your friends and neighbors and talk to your rabbis to do their share as well. Spend time lobbying on the phone or in the synagogue or at work or at your lunch break. Lemaan Tzion Lo Echesha. For Zion I will not be Silent! Speak up at the Agudah Convention and ask the Rabbinic Leaders to speak out for Judea and Samaria this coming Thanksgiving!!!!!
To my Dear Friends, My Fellow Activists, our Modern Day Macabees, amv"sh
Yasher Koach! (May you have strength from the One Above)
Thank you, Tamar Edelstein, Buddy Macy and Eva, Helen Freedman of Afsi and Gennady of Bnei Eilim.
Sincerely,
Robin

Received from Buddy Macy:
As the mainstream American Jewish "leaders" continue to shirk their responsibilities to the Jewish People by refusing to protest the planning in Annapolis of the second Holocaust - the give away of half of Jerusalem and all of the Jewish heartland of Judea and Samaria, and the deliverance of thousands of terrorists to within a cheap rocket's launch of all of Israel's population centers, including Tel Aviv - a group of grassroots activists has taken it upon themselves to rally against the suicidal plans.
Please join us this Monday, November 26th, from 12 Noon to 2 p.m., outside the Israeli Consulate in New York City (2nd Avenue at 43rd Street). Bring posters, fliers and plenty of energy to this critical rally. We must prevent the Israeli Government from leading the Jewish State to extinction!
We welcome the attendance of representatives of all of the major Jewish organizations, but do not expect any to show up.
Time is most definitely of the essense. Please forward this to everyone on your list RIGHT NOW!
For more information, call Eva Costabel - 917-553-6042 or Buddy Macy - 973-785-0057.
We look forward to seeing you this Monday.
Received from Helen Freedman:
Dear friends,
Please join us and encourage your friends, neighbors, congregants and concerned Jews and Christians to call AFSI asap to reserve for the trip to Annapolis on Tuesday, Nov. 27. This is a critical time in the history of Israel - and America. The enemies must not win. Please do what you can.
Very best,
Helen Freedman

We are going to Capitol Hill on November 27th, 2007. Everyone is welcome to come. We reserved a room inside a Capitol Hill and will invite congregational staff of the congressman where we will ask the congressmen not to sponsor the new terrorist state. Without money the Annapolis Summit will fail. We plan to leave from New York at 7:00 a.m. Please do not be late. The arrival to Washington should be somewhere at 12p.m. After we give our talks to the congressmen we will go to lobby to congressional offices. We plan to break in a team of three people and all of you can participate either by engaging in a dialogue or just support the person who will speak by attending next to him.
Those who would like to go. Find out the names of your congressmen. Also, we ask each person to pay $25 for the bus for round trip. Those who cannot afford to pay we can speak privately. Note: If something happens and the trip is cancelled or you had some emergency, all money will be returned.
There are few options that you can take. When registering for the bus give us your Full name and any contact information.
