Write to the soldiers


The outreach organization Panim El Panim (Face to Face), founded by reserve IDF Colonel Geva Rapp, is soliciting letters from anyone who would like to write to the soldiers who’ve been fighting in Gaza. As of last Thursday, according to a staff member, they had received 300 letters and delivered more than 200. The project is named SOS (Strengthen Our Soldiers), and is being promoted in the U.S. by the National Council of Young Israel. The soldiers need our moral support on an ongoing basis.

The letters are printed out on nice paper and given to Colonel Rapp who served in Gaza as a commander of thousands of soldiers. He and others under his command distributed the letters in Gaza, and others were given to soldiers when they returned to Israel for “a few hours of rest” from the fighting.

Encouragement and good wishes can be sent to idfletters at youngisrael.org. Send general inquiries to office at panimelpanim.org.il.

Rapp is giving a press conference at the Dorchester Hotel, Hyde Park tomorrow morning at 11am along with other zionists.

Please do your best to get there. We need the numbers!! Bring placards. Show your support!!
