Support Mishmeret Yesha, They prevented serious terrorist attack!

What is Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz's life worth?

Dear Torah Supporters!

Our community recently had the honor of hosting Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz
here in San Francisco. This world recognized scholar is the author of
a new edition of Talmud that makes the central text of the Jewish
people universally accessible in the original Hebrew and has been
already translated into English, Russian and French.

We must sadly inform you that two armed Hamas terrorists recently
attacked his Mekor Haim Yeshiva in Kfar Etzion. This is not a yeshiva
consisting of college-age students studying after their IDF training.
These are high-school students without any combat experience.

Instead of entering student dormitories at 9:30 PM, the terrorists
entered a room where four counselors were meeting. As providence would
have it, two of these counselors were recently trained in
anti-terrorist combat techniques and practical weapons handling by
Mishmeret Yesha. Rather than obey the terrorists' command to "stand
against the wall", one counselor engaged in hand-to-hand combat
allowing the other to shoot both terrorists dead.

This event has been widely publicized in the Israeli media, see one
example at: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/948272.html

Over 70% of terror attacks directed at Israel and the Jews occur in of
the mountainous territories of Yehuda and Shomron. From Hadera to
Ghadera, a mere 9-mile-wide stretch of land, the entire coastal
population of Israel depends on the brave men and women of Yesha to
fend off terror for its survival. Often we hear only about attacks
resulting in injuries or deaths, but the majority of attacks are where
Israelis succeed in defending their businesses, land and families from
terror generally go unreported. This high rate of success is almost
entirely due to Mishmeret Yesha training programs and equipment
assistance.

The media has not given credit to Mishmeret Yesha for training and
organizing the security detail for Mekor Haim Yeshiva.

While the IDF approves and supports Mishmeret Yesha's work, they have
no budget to support the over 4,000 volunteers that are trained and
equipped by Mishmeret Yesha.
