Dear Media and Rabbanim and Activist List, amv"sh

Please publicize so this does not continue.  

For all of you who are doing your part in the Mitzvah of Al Taaamod Al Dam Reiacha, not standing by idly as your brothers blood is being spilled, a big Yasher Koach. To everyone else, it seems to me the following Pasuk from Megillat Esther applies. 

Im Hacharesh Tacharishu.....

Subject: A serious event that happened tonight

 

 

90 minutes ago (around 8 pm, 16 Feb 2012), a good friend of mine, Julie, that leave in Neve Daniel, drove near Beitar. A stone was throne at her car, and the window blast. She called the Army, and they told her they are not interested in the case. UNBELIEVABLE! She called the Police, and they told her its approximately case number 100 this week. Make sure that the relevant people will get the right awareness and hopefully will act to change things. Todah, Ehud. Engineer. Petach Tikva.

 

From: Julie Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 10:42 PM

 

At 7:35 I was driving to Beitar from Neve Daniel and was surprised by a rock that hit my car and the window smashed. I  kept driving till the gate of Beitar and stopped to tell the Shomer. He did not even get out to see if I was Ok.  I pulled over. He called the moked who barely asked whether I was ok and then told me to go to the police - we don't need to see you.  The Police told me the same thing.  The fact that I could've been traumatized and unable to drive didn't occur to anyone - how would they feel without their weapons being attacked by a deadly weapon.  When I asked them whether they were coming they said no.  When I expressed surprise that they weren't coming (somewhat hysterically) they put the phone down on me.  I then called the police, by then I was sobbing, who also didn't bother to send anyone. (whereas ravshatz from Neve Daniel called and asked if I needed him to come and get me....).

I am horrified by this lack of concern. In Beitar there were numerous attacks on that road in the last week  (near Husan).  On the way home I did not see one army jeep or police car  1/2 an hour later, nor 20 minutes after that, when my dentist (also from Neve Daniel) drove back.  We both thought that was odd  - to say the least. This is the second time I was hit by a rock recently - the last night of Chanukah we were hit by a rock. Missed my daughter's head by about 10 cm. My daughter is 3 1/2.

Dear Rabbanim, amv"sh

Thank you so much for taking the time to speak to Shmuel Koenig about the upcoming Gush Katif Museum Dinner.  There will be strong press both Jewish and Secular.  A high profile PR firm is covering this event.  Also please come yourself. 

Fliers were distributed throughout Flatbush so they might be in your shul.  It's a window of opportunity to do our hishtadlus to prevent expulsions in Judea and Samaria before it's too late.  If we don't and then we meet a refugee after his home has been razed will we be able to look him in the eye?   Thank you and Shabbat Shalom!

   The FRIENDS of the GUSH KATIF MUSEUM IN JERUSALEM invite the community to a dinner in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY at the RAZAG BALLROOOM, 739 East New York Avenue, at 6 P.M. on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2012.  This dinner will heighten awareness of the tragedy of the Tisha B'Av expulsion from 21 flourishing communities from Gush Katif and 4 in the northern Shomron in August, 2005 by order of Ariel Sharon.  As preparations for the Dinner are underway and in full swing, Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpo, director of the Museum was recently summoned by the Israeli police for questioning. The interrogator informed Rabbi Wolpo that he is under suspicion of encouraging soldiers to disobey orders, a crime liable to heavy punishment. "I'm not encouraging disobedience to orders," declared Rabbi Wolpo to the police investigator. "I'm encouraging soldiers to follow the order of G-d, who gave the entire land of Israel to the Jewish people and commanded us to settle every part of it. Disobeying orders are those trying to please the enemy by advocating establishment of a terror state in the heart of the Holy Land."
     Rabbi Wolpo , SOS-Israel and his team in Crown Heights,  are working with a team of strong activists for Israel in America, to make this Dinner an overwhelming success. These include organizations such as AFSI, Director Helen Freedman and The World Committee of the Land of Israel, whose executive committee include Dr. Joseph Frager, Dr. Paul Brody,  Rabbi David Algaze and  Odeleya Jacobs,  To RSVP, please call 718-989-2767, or mail your check to "Friends of Gush Katif Museum," 383 Kingston Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11213, suite 155, or email: GushKatifMuseum@hotmail.co.il. You can also pay online with your credit card: www.sos-israel.com. This and all other contributions are tax deductible.
    Americans for a Safe Israel/AFSI (www.afsi.org) and The World Committee for the Land of Israel are offering subsidized rates, when needed 212-828-2424; 800-235-3658; afsi@rcn.com.
  To date, the Museum has been visited by over 100,000 people, including Knesset members, members of Congress, and many notable personalities across all political lines. By attending the Gush Katif Museum Dinner, you will have a unique opportunity to learn about and support the invaluable work of SOS-Israel  and help to prevent any further Jewish expulsions. YOUR presence at this Dinner can make a difference! Be with us!! NEVER FORGET!

Dear List, amv"sh

See attachment!

From time to time I forward to you the Toronto Zionist Council weekly newsletter.  I happen to love it.  I would love if each and every shul would downloaded it, print copies and placed in shuls to be read after davening.  (It's dangerous to have it nearby during davening because people might get distracted).  I wish some mainstream newspapers would  incorporate it in their own newspapers.  As you can see it is jammed packed, 4 pages with no advertisements, just breaking news and expert analysis of current events that are often hidden items from the general Jewish public. The publishers are not beholden to anyone except their passionate love for Israel and their devoted volunteers and fans who run around Erev Shabbos making sure it gets delivered to the Shuls in Toronto.   No wonder Toronto has such a great love for Eretz Yisroel.   Yossi Winter, President of the TZC is the editor. His items are straight off the press.  My understanding of this newsletter was that the driving force was Izzy Kaplan of blessed memory a dedicated and Jewish activist for Israel par excellence!  If you are reading this on my blog and there is no attachment, email me at faigerayzel@gmail.com and I will email it to you or bertter yet send an email to "Yossi Winter" <cooljoe@torzc.org>,  or "Toronto Zionist Council" <tzc@torzc.org> and subscribe. 

Shabbat Shalom UmeVorach!

Here is this week's Toronto Zionist Council Newsletter. Please print a few copies and take them to shul as well, forward it to those who would appreciate knowing what is happening in Israel, and to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the issues facing Israel and Israelis.

 

It is in PDF format and should display properly with Acrobat reader, which is a free download from Adobe.com. It will print neatly on four 8.5x11 pages or two up on each side of 11x17 and then folded in half.

 

Thanks and Shabbat Shalom,

Must See: Brigitte Gabrielle video of ACT at anti Sharia Conference (it will also motivate you to support Gush Katif Museum Dinner)

bs"d

Dear friends, amv"sh

Why am I sending this out now when I am so busy promoting the Gush Katif Museum Dinner?  Because this Dinner in Crown Heights with star studded speakers, Glenn Beck and John Bolton, is a window of  opportunity.  It is an opportunity to make a big Statement. 

Understand that YOUR involvement is as necessary as the wealthiest donors and their contributions.  

When the Temple stood in Jerusalem, each and every Jew was obligated to bring sacrifices and gifts for the Holy Temple as their offering to the Creator.  One with means brought gifts that were plentiful and lavish and one who was without means brought sacrifices of flour and oil.  But our sages teach us that each and every sacrifice was necessary, important, accepted, noted and appreciated as per the intent in the donors heart no matter what the amount.

This museum was established partially to document what happened in Gush Katif and in order to prevent it from happening again.  My guess is that a house in Gush Katif had the market value of at least $100,000. A very low estimate. How can I live comfortably in my house in Brooklyn when I know that my brothers house in Judea and Samaria is likely to be destroyed.  Behind the scenes, deals are in the making for further painful concessions for the greater "good" otherwise known as the "Peace Process". 

This time, let us do our part to prevent it from happening!  How can we let the refugees from Gush Katif continue to suffer when we did not do our share to help them before the gov't brutally destroyed their homes and communities.  At the very least, let us support them now and prevent further tragedies. Let our investments for this Dinner send a message to the World at Large and with G-d's help, stop our enemies from within and without! 

Eretz Yisroel is OURS and not Palestinian.  This is what is written in the Torah and this is the Divine will.  We are not the "Occupiers" and the Palestinians are not a people. No more expulsions! Yehudi Lo Megaresh Yehudi! Jews should not Expel Jews! Unfortunately, there are individuals who call themselves Jews, yet for whatever reason they empower our enemies. There are individuals who are not Jewish yet they empower the Jewish people and proclaim G-d's Law.

Don't let this fight be fought by others.  Make it your own.  The Holocaust happened and the Disengagement happened because good people stood by and didn't do their part. Saying Tehillim, Psalms, after the fact will not bring back the houses.  History has shown that when disaster strikes, good people come together to pool their resources and all of a sudden the money is no longer a consideration.  After all, when ones house is destroyed and all is lost, priorities of money,  time and  energies are totally reevaluated. Finally, what is most precious to us in life gets the attention it deserves.  

Why wait for a disaster before prioritizing.  Do it now when there still time and our assets are in tact.  And if you need a little more motivation of why you should come and/or support this dinner to the extent you can, watch Brigitte Gabrielle!  You will better understand the fight and why YOU too must join to combat this evil.  And if you ask why we depend on  non Jews to get our message across, it is because they are Hashem's messengers and they are influential and they will be the first ones to say that what is good for Israel and Jews is good for America.  The first line of defense for America is defense of Israel which can only happen by defending what is clearly, written in the Torah.  Thank you for listening.



(Thank you Ted Ackerman for sending)

Friends:Maybe you have seen this, maybe not, this woman is amazing!!! Send this to everyone!!! A must see video.  Very scary but informative.This is frightening, This is a very telling lecture. It hits at the root of what is happening in American Universities, and what is happening to our culture. This fight is as real and costly as any combat this nation has been through in the past. The battlefield is non-conventional, but so are the methods of our enemies. Please take the time to listen. Note: If the video stops partly through, just click on the blank section and it will continue. Click here: <http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid949801312001?bckey=AQ%7E%7E%2cAAAACEco_Vk%7E%2c9bOat4XcfB_88ri1a3UMdKnLpH9aM8Fv&amp;bclid=0&amp;bctid=1271237687001>

Please circulate and help publicize widely the egregious misuse of the resources and imprimatur of a California public university to promote an assault against the Jewish state.  This is not just a California problem: similar abuses are occurring in many universities across the nation, with the use of federal and state taxpayer money.

We need your help.

 

Largest Public University in U.S. Promotes Anti-Israel Speaker on its Campuses

 

Ilan Pappe is an Israeli Jewish academic who harbors deep animosity towards the Jewish state, has publicly called for its elimination, and engages in activities to harm its citizens, such as a campaign to boycott Israeli academics, which he helped to found. In addition, he openly supports the terrorist organization Hamas and falsely accuses Israel of "crimes against humanity," including "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing."

 

He will speak February 20, 22, and 23 on three California University campuses with official sponsorship and funding by University departments and administrative offices. In addition, on each campus the event has been organized and promoted by a faculty member or top university administrator who has publicly expressed his or her hatred of Israel and has participated in many anti-Israel events, including the campaign to boycott Israeli academics.

 

Although we are concerned about Ilan Pappe's talk per se, we are more concerned that the talks are organized and promoted by officials and faculty of the California State University system,  using the name, resources, and imprimatur of CSU, in order to vilify and harm the Jewish state and its supporters. In this way, taxpayers like us are subsidizing the promotion of hateful indoctrination in our nation's largest public university.

 

Please click here to view a letter the AMCHA Initiative has sent to university administrators.

 

You can also watch the following AMCHA video to learn more about CSU's support for Ilan Pappe's speaking tour by clicking here.

 

Please consider sending your own respectful letter to one or more of the following individuals, asking them to ensure that official university sponsorship and funding is withdrawn from Ilan Pappe's talks at the three CSU campuses:

• CSU Fresno President John Welty: johnw@csufresno.edu
