Thank you to all the people who have been contributing information to this list.
To make it easy to navigate we normally delete the name of the sender.
Please note: We have received many messages from people abroad offering to send toys and clothes to Israel. If you would like to send goods contact the appropriate agency to see if their need is current and exactly what they need.

An alternative, which may be the best choice, is to make a donation to organizations here in Israel that can purchase the toys, food, clothing or toiletries and get them to where they are needed quickly and efficiently.

We have tried to list as many web sites as possible of organizations that are seeking help. Some have on-line donation forms that accept credit cards.

Information on sending goods to Israel This was posted to an Israel forum:

The unanimous conclusion is don't send stuff in bulk from the States

1) In general, the airlines do not give discounts

2) The various agencies here are not able to help out; therefore taxes and customs are not waived

3) People have been charged the maximum possible by customs officials, etc.

There's stuff that's been sitting in the airport for 5 months now, waiting to be release; donated items for needy causes.

Her recommendation is: send money, or send items in someone's lift (which may possibly cause problems if there's too much of the same item), or in people's suitcases coming to Israel.

In Solidarity with Sderot & other Bombed Areas,

I am organizing a cake collection (preferably home made, but can also be bought) and letters of solidarity (just as important as the cake – or more) .The package will be a part of a large group of packages from the Yehuda & Shomron area that will be distributed by Thursday afternoon. So if you think you can make this deadline, please contact me so I'll know if we have a large enough amount of cakes to justify a collection from Rehovot. There might be another collection next week. If so another email will be sent about it.

Please contact me by email at: stevenf@netvision.net.il

If you do not have access to email you can try my phone numbers, please don't leave messages with my kids. 08-9365313 057-5706592

Donation What is Needed: Emergency Respite For Families from the North

Details: The New Jerusalem Foundation (NJF), with the help of those who love and support Israel, has established an Emergency Respite Fund for families and their children from the North of Israel. To date, the NJF has provided hundreds of individuals with activity days in Jerusalem including visits to tourist attractions, pools, parks and the Biblical Zoo allowing them to "take a breath of fresh air" and receive the emotional and psychological support they need to cope with the crisis. Recently, the NJF in cooperation with the Jewish Community in Italy, has sponsored several trips for several hundred children to stay with families in Rome, giving them the chance to escape their cluttered existence in bombshelters in the North.

We need your support to help more scared children and their families maintain their routines and feelings of normalcy despite the wrenching terror which bombards them day in and day out.


WE NEED YOUR HELP TO BRING THEIR DREAMS TO REALITY!
WE DEPEND UPON YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS!

Donation Situations currently waiting for help include:

- two bar mitzvah boys needing tefillin. - a baby about to be delivered and parents have no baby things and no money. - Six families staying under one three bedroom apartment roof who have special dietary needs and we are trying to supply them with staples (for thirty four people, B"H).

- a family with a sick child in need of hospital treatments, who needs immediate monetary help with transportation expenses.

- a family who only just came to our attention received a pot to cook in, after living quietly unnoticed in a borrowed apartment for weeks already! Now they need basic staple food to cook in that pot, as well, because for health reasons they can not use the soup kitchen food.

- a family of bli ayin hara thirteen need help because they were told they need to start paying something toward the rent or be asked to leave... but they are using their entire budget and then some, paying rent on the apartment they can no longer live in, in Tzfat.

And the list goes on.

Volunteers neeeded Hebrew speaking volunteers are needed to staff a phone hot line working around the clock, set up by the Jewish Agency,to address concerns of soldiers and callers from the North, located in downtown Jerusalem.

Each shift is 4 hours minimum.Call Marianna Kornfeld, 052 3464894 or marianakr@jazo.org.il

Housing needed I have staying with me two small families from Haifa, and because of unforeseen circumstances I need those rooms back by this Sunday or Monday morning at the latest. Two young couples, the husband of one is in Haifa working all week, and between them 3 samll children. Extremely nice people, very lovely children. They are Chabadnikim so would prefer a kosher house but they use their own things anyway (unless maybe they are hosted by Chabadnikim). If you can help, please call me at 566-2301 or 050-674-4872. Thanks very much.
Volunteers needed There are (I think) 200 Hebrew speaking religious people from Tzfat on Har Tzion by the Old City. They could really use some chizook. If any woman wants to come by and lead the woman in singing, or give them a concert, or some other sniyus form of entertainment one evening, it would be greatly appreciated. Call Shantelle at 052-580-6911
Volunteers needed Anyone who would like to join solidarity trips north at no transportation cost should please call yossi at 0526051009 or respond to this email. We have a busses leaving 9am this sunday from Jlem and Tel Aviv. We also have other busses leaving throughout the week. When calling please have your Teudat Zehut or passport number at hand so that we can write it down for insurance purposes. All trips are overnighters, so bring sleeping bag and food for 2 days.
Volunteers needed When Rabbi Chanan Kaufman, Executive Director of the Jerusalem Fellowship Program, who resides in Monsey, NY heard that people in the North were getting desperate and could no longer stay in their bomb shelters and that the trauma of being in a war zone was unbearable (especially for the children) he took action. Most of the students that he had planned to bring in from the States to tour and learn in Israel for the summer cancelled their plans due to the war. Rabbi Kaufman took the housing that he arranged for these students and gave it over to the residents of the North. He is now housing over 900 people in a hotel, in a hostel, in a school and in a development town. Though these accommodations are very crowded the families are receiving meals, babysitting, and most important a calming environment. But more help is needed!

We need volunteers to help solicit clothes for children (all ages), nosh for the kids, cleaning supplies, detergent, toys for kids, puzzles, games, toys for older kids like backgammon, dominoes, rummy cube, drinks, arts and crafts, pitchers for drinks, disposable plates, stroller, books in Hebrew.

It goes without mentioning that money can help provide the above as well. Any donation will be gratefully accepted.

If you can help please call Emuna 054-204-9434.
Donation During the last month, as Israel has found itself fighting on two fronts and struggling to meet the needs of over 400,000 refugees who have fled the north and constant katyusha rocket attacks, some brave volunteers and a generous donation has resulted in the creation of a flow of support and care packages for thousands of soldiers who were urgently called to defend Israel's northern communities.

The plan, called Operation Northern Points, is a joint effort of the Moskowitz family of Miami Beach, Florida and a team of dedicated individuals who drive north with vans packed with basic essentials. Risking much, these volunteers meet units about to enter Lebanon and ask their help in delivering these much-needed supplies even further northward to those on the front.

With smiles and hugs, the volunteers explain what they have brought, unload the supplies, spend some time with the boys and then, sadly, take their leave, hoping they will return soon and find the soldiers healthy and safe.

Uriel Fisch of Maaleh Adumim, who has traveled several times, spoke of the need to expand the operation, "The soldiers are so happy to see us, to thank us for what we have brought to them and to know that there are so many people, here in Israel and abroad who are worrying about them and what they need. Keep the money coming. We guarantee we will spend it quickly!"

To date, having made almost daily trips, the volunteers have delivered over 1,200 tubes of toothpaste, over 200 containers of mosquito repellent, 700 cans of deodorant, 540 containers of shampoo, 1,500 packages of moistened disposal wipes, and more than 1,000 packages of Q-tips. Especially appreciated were over 2,500 pairs of underwear, 3,300 pairs of socks, 1,400 undershirts, and even 85 decks of playing cards. The items in each van are varied and often include much-loved snacks, cans of soda and fresh bread and more than 2,500 packages of potato chips.

For the full story and pictures of this amazing operation...and what you can do to help - please see http://www.paulasays.com/articles/war_on_two_fronts/operation_northern.html

Spiritual help All of us have friends and relatives fighting for our country's safety and existence up north. Day in and day out our young boys are venturing off into the unknwon and putting their lives on the line so that we can sleep soundly at night. While Tzahal is demonstrating its greatest efforts across the border, the question is what we, as citizens on this side of the border can can do. Luckily there is a solution. Each day we read in the morning prayers, a list of duties which have no limit, such as leaving crops for the poor, acts of lovingkindness, honoring one's parents, and bringing peace between people. "And the study of Torah," the quotation ends, "is equal to them all." The reasoning is that the study of Torah will lead to righteous acts; therefore, study is the highest mitzvah, equal to all the rest. As Talmud Bavli also records (in Masechet Kiddushin 40b), the rabbis are said to have debated, "Which is greater, study or action?" Rabbi Akiba said, and the sages agreed, "Study -- if it leads to action."

Therefore, I am organizing a siyum of the five books of the Torah in order to help our soldiers. Each of the 54 parshas will be given to a different person (or group) and hopefully, by the end of the month we will proudly say that we completed the entire Torah with our kavanot (intentions) being to assist our brethren. The time to start helping is now as every moment in this war is crucial and the potential to save lives may indeed lie in our hands. As it says in Pirkei Avot 1:14, "If not now, when?" For those interested: please email batshevais@gmail.com with the subject S.O.S and I will send you a parsha to learn.

The Mor Family were bombed in the first days of this conflict. The rocket hit into their kitchen where 4 of their five small children and their mother. Revital Mor were standing.

The mother is in a cast with a broken leg and in a wheel chair, two of the 5 children were unconscious and all were hospitalized for a week at Rambam Hospital with heavy cuts and bruises.

They are currently recovering in Kibbutz Etzion and have no belongings left except some clothes donated to them.

Mr Tzion Mor is a Sofer and has no writing tools, etc. Mrs Revital Mor loves to paint oil paintings, sketches in pencil and charcoal, as well as Mr. Mor enjoys the same, for relaxation. The children love toys and need safe activites when they are not re-visiting Hadassah Hospital for follow-up treatments which is weekly if not more.. Monetary donations, art supplies, new clothes, shoes, and later items of furniture, cooking utensils, etc are needed. Whatever you can give!

Anyone who remains in Tzfat is able to work. But some shops are open on limited hrs for food and essentials. Many who have been injured or lost their homes to the rockets which made many direct hits to homes need everything and anything you can give.

Bless you all in advance with perfect Helath till 120 +

Housing needed in Raanana A family of 6, 3 adults and 3 children, will retrun to Kiryat Shemona tomorrow if they find nowhere to stay in Raanana. They stayed with us earlier in the week, but left to stay with extended family, which did not work out.

In the meantime we have replaced them with others. They are nice folk; Sasson and Aliza, her sister a soldier, and 3 girls. The wife is scared of dogs.

Can you help?

Please call Sasson on 050-7966330

Tzitzit for soldiers Klal Yisroel are, at present, in dire need of Hashem's mercy and compassion. It is imperative that we begin feeling and sharing the sentiments of those directly suffering. Feeling should lead to action together with and on behalf of our brothers. "Eis tzara hi l'Yaakov-It is a time of trial to Yaakov" means all of us.

There is a midrash that relates of a man drowning in a lake who cries to the captain of a passing boat. The captain throws him a rope to save and pull him aboard. Hakaddosh Baruch Hu gave us the rope of the tzitzis to grab in order to pull us close to Him. It is a shemirah, a protection, for our bodies and souls and a connection to Hashem.

A group of Boston yungerleit are embarking upon an imperative project of feeling for our soldiers, may Hashem protect them, identifying with them, and sending them 'the rope'. They are undertaking to send tzitzis to as many soldiers as possible and offering you the opportunity to share in this mitzvah.

The passuk says "U'ri'isem oso...va'asisem es kol mitzvosai". This alludes to the havtacha, the promise, that if one fulfills "U'ri'isem oso", one will be granted the privilege to live and fulfill mitzvos, may it be Hashem's will.

The list is as follows

  • White or Khaki Tshirts
  • Boxer shorts
  • Army Socks
  • Energy Bars
  • Soap
  • Tooth Paste
  • Tooth Brushes
  • Deodorant
  • Tissues
  • Shampoo

Further, we are trying to collect money so that we can also purchase something small to make their difficult time easier. This week leatherman type knives were purchased and next week we hope to purchase knee pads which are needed for their specific assignments.

If anyone can help with any of these items or alternatively make a donation so that these items can be bought we would be grateful but not half a grateful as these boys who appeciated the parcels that have been sent so far. You can be assured that any donations made go straight to them and are distributed immediately.

Spiritual Aid Safra ve Sayfa is a new unique project, whose purpose is to link a yeshiva student with a Zahal soldier, allowing him to adopt the soldier in his heart by learning in his name and praying for his safety. By connecting the soldier to Torah study and prayer, the yeshiva student lends strength to the soldier on the battlefield, while the soldier transforms this strength into defending and saving our Jewish homeland.

The project promoters are distributing sets with designer bookmarks each having the name of a different soldier as well as the name of his mother, to all different yeshivot in Israel and around the world. The yeshiva student will thus learn in the soldier's name and pray for his sake and by doing so deepen the connection between Torah learning and the soldier in the field.

The initiators of Safra ve Sayfa received the encouragement and blessings of many rabbis including that of the Rav Mordecai Eliahu to promote the program in all the yeshivot.

Soldiers who are interested in having yeshiva students learn and pray for them and their families are invited to send their names and the names of their mothers to: safravesayfa@email.com their name will be given to a yeshiva student somewhere in Israel or around the world. At the same time, yeshiva students are welcome to send an email at this address, to receive the soldiers' names.

Anyone who is interested in volunteering to promote the project or in distributing the sets with the soldiers' names to the different yeshivot around the country or around the world are welcome to contact:

Spiritual aid, partnering with Jews in Israel After hearing the heart-rendering appeal of Gedolei Torah to intensify our Tefilos and Torah learning during this very difficult time for Klall Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael, we have undertaken to join and add to their request.

The Torah informs us that in the war that Moshe Rabbeinu and Klall Yisrael waged against Midyan, Moshe “drafted” elef l’mateh, elef l’mateh --- one thousand soldiers from each shevet/tribe. The Medrash Rabba and the Yalkut Shimoni explain that in fact, each shevet sent one thousand pairs, two thousand individuals one thousand to fight and one thousand to daven. Each soldier had his designated person whose task was to daven and learn for his specific soldier colleague. And the Torah tells us- v’lo nifkad mimenu ish, no one was killed from amongst the Jewish Army.

We brought this idea to Rav Chaim Kanievsky, Shlita. He was quite happy about the idea and pointed out that Dovid HaMelech instituated the plan, as well. Each individual who was in combat had a designated person who was davening and learning in his merit.

Therefore, we ask of everyone –soldiers, residents of cities and towns that are under attack, those that are in shelters, all that find themselves in danger, to contact us, to give us your Hebrew name and the Hebrew name of your mother. We will find a Jew who will accept upon himself/herself to daven and learn, specifically as a merit for your safety and security.

We call upon the Jewish community –men and women, adult and youth, in the Diaspora, to join in this holy endeavor, accept a name of a soldier or civilian who finds himself/herself in danger. Bond with acheinu Bnei Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael and “partner” in Torah and Tefilah with a specific individual, have that person, by name, included in your Tefilos, Torah learning and acts of chesed.

If you wish to partner with a Jew in Israel, please contact us and we will share with you a Jew who would be honored and appreciative to be part of your Tefilos and Torah learning. By telephone, between the hours of 8-10pm in Eretz Yisrael, 011-972-2-581-1911; By fax, 011-972-2-651-2950; by e-mail MAORTLMO@Bezeqint.net

In this merit of our concern for each other, may we see a successful end to this war, as it says in the pasuk, v’lo nifkad mimenu ish, without the loss of even just one more person.

--The letter is signed by the Bostoner Rebbe, Shlita and Rav Simcha Hakohen Kook, Shlita.

--If we at National Council of Young Israel can assist in matching a concerned Jew with a brother or sister in Israel, a soldier or civilian, please do call upon us. Tel 212-929-1525 Ext 100/101; E-Mail Execvp@Youngisrael.Org

In the Torah, Bamidbar, Numbers: 31:1*, The Almighty tells Moshe to form an army to fight the enemy. He told Moshe to choose 1000 soldiers in each tribe and 1000 people to pray for these soldiers.

We want every woman to join. Anyone can join regardless of affiliation. Please submit your name and city name by clicking on the reply button. We will print out the list of 1000 women and send it to you. (When we reach our target goal we will start on the next 1000!)

Donation Dear Friend,

Our family just returned from Israel, we had a great time, got to visit many places and had a Texas - israel get together.

We happened to be in Tzfat and Meron the day the rockets started falling on those cities, thank G-d we did not hear or see it happen however, over the weeks we saw and heard from many evacuees and spoke to many friends a colleagues-- and they need a lot of help.

I am in contact with a few Chabad Rabbis in the area, this is the situation:

60% of the residents relocated. The 40% left behind are the "Miskainim beyoter" poorest and neediest who cannot help themselves. the Rabbis and volunteers are running selflessly from shelter to shelter to provide food, water, pampers, baby formula, toys and games to keep children occupied during long periods of time in the shelters.

Hundreds of people are jobless, some homes ands synagogues were destroyed- miraculously the casualties are low.

Some of my friends are right behind the army giving them morale support, some are bringing bottled water (you need gallons of water in outdoor Israel) and assisting them with donning Tephillin.

If you care to help, please write a check to:

Donation The NAVAH Organization is registered as a non-profit organization in the USA and Israel.

Contributions are tax-deductible in the United States.
US Federal Tax ID # 04-3719806.

There are thousands of people in Israel who have been injured in terrorist attacks or who have family members that have been killed or injured. So many families have been torn apart, so many hearts broken, and so many lives shattered or lost. For the most part, these people have very few resources. Some have even less. Many of those injured or killed have been sole breadwinners and can no longer support their families.

NAVAH was established to assure victims of terror that they are not alone, that there is a place in our heart that feels their pain, and shares their suffering. The volunteers of NAVAH spend hours visiting victims after each attack, sitting by their bedsides, listening to them and encouraging them. The emphasis on bikur cholim (visiting the sick) is what makes NAVAH unique.

NAVAH's programs bring people from abroad together to help victims of terrorism repair their shattered lives. NAVAH distributes care packages, together with a monetary endowment from people around the world.

NAVAH has established the following ways for you to make a differerence:

With your donation, NAVAH will assemble and deliver care packages along with your greeting card to the victims of terror in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and at home.When NAVAH volunteers deliver the packages, they take time to get to know the recipients, to talk to them and to be there for them. These care packages make a huge impact on the recipients and do much to lift their spirits. Words cannot express what it means to a victim to receive warm wishes from someone who they do not even know, but who took the time to care.

Each victim that we meet is struggling both physically and financially. NAVAH distributes monetary support that will help victims get through the beginning stages of their recovery and continue to assist them during their rehabilitation. In general, most of the victims of terror are ordinary Israelis, with few financial resources. Help us to help them. Make a donation so that we can distribute as much money as possible and help these victims with their various needs. (Donations are tax deductible in the USA.)

NAVAH invites all schoolchildren from around the world to express their concern for their Israeli brothers and sisters by drawing pictures and writing messages of support. From our experience, the pictures that we deliver to victims of terror from these children have impacted them a great deal. Encourage your school or synagogue to get involved in this worthy initiative.
