Wondering how you can help support the people of Sderot, who have been bombarded with attacks from Gaza? The organization Connections Israel has a few suggestions:

We are heading a project that this Rosh Hashanah each of the 10,000 families in the Sderot area will receive a large holiday gift basket with a personalized letter from a different family from communities all over the world.

Every community’s name and contribution will be marked in a major event that will take place in Sderot before Rosh Hashanah and will show the support, care and solidarity from the Jews around the world.

In appreciation for your efforts we will send to your community photos of the event, a movie and a thank you letter from the Sderot municipality.

While the cost of each basket is only $36, we encourage each community to choose their level of involvement for the amount of baskets they want to send.

We are looking for volunteers who’d like to take on this project in their community/organization and individual who would like to simply donate and show they care ( http://connectionsisrael.com/donate).

If you feel you cannot donate for this cause – write a card to the families and send it to us.

See the website for more information.
