Helping Israel - Providing Emergency Assistance to Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza

We are on a daily battle with events and needs. The fiscal demands are tremendous and our budget cannot possibly pay for these extra emergency requirements on its own. It is now at a time of need that we see the Jewish communities all over the world, strong, unified, and committed to assisting the true guardians of Eretz Yisrael during these difficult times. These are our immediate and top priority needs:

1.. Bullet proofing the nursery schools from outside snipers, who may shoot into a community, hitting the nursery first. The government may participate partially, but even if we would file for a proposal it would take time and we need this immediately. The cost for one is $150,000, we need six.

2.. Electric generators- Due to sabotage of the Arabs on the electric lines of some of our communities, they are cut off from electricity for hours and days. The Electric Company cannot come out to repair this during the night hours, and during the day they will only come out with a military escort that does not always come. This leaves our residents without electricity. The darkness plus the security factor create and additional situation of fear and danger for the residents. The government does not supply generators and the entire financial burden falls on the Regional Council. W e may see a 10% return from the Ministry of Defense. We need 3 small generators at $120,000 and 2 large generators at $250,000.

3.. Small armored vehicle- we are now in the midst of a trial run on armoring a small vehicle for transporting children to school. Till now we have had only bulletproof buses. All children must travel to school in bulletproof buses. The price of one small armored vehicle is $110,000.
We need 8 and we have ordered 3 for the special education needs children. The government will participate 50%. We have already raised some of the money in the USA.
