In honor of my Bar Mitzvah I want to raise $720 for the Israeli soldiers that protect Israel from its' many enemies. These young men and women risk their lives every day to protect Israel and its' people. Chesed is and has always been very important to me, and now that I will be a Bar Mitzvah, it is something that I also have an obligation to do. I find Standing Together and its' work to be an amazing way to meet that goal. This organization is very important to me, and I am excited to have the opportunity to raise money on its behalf. Israel’s brave soldiers man checkpoints, serve on army bases and on Israel’s borders and other dangerous places, in high heat, freezing cold, rain and sometimes snow. Meanwhile, we sit at home, sometimes not realizing that these heroes stop thousands of suicide bombers every year, not to mention all the other protections they provide us.
I thought it would bring a smile to a lot of soldiers if I would give them Purim Mishlochei Manot too. The soldiers have hard lives, and it is almost impossible to imagine what they go through daily. They keep Israel safe and sound, and I respect them for that unwavering commitment. Standing Together is run mostly by volunteers, and is dedicated to showing the people who protect Israel, the IDF, our appreciation for all their hard and dangerous work. With the Standing Together truck and hospitality trailer, volunteers visit IDF soldiers at their bases and offer support, gratitude, hot and cold drinks, yummy treats and warm winter wear.
Standing Together exists in order to let them know that they are not alone and forgotten. Funded entirely by donors from all over the world, Standing Together provides relief not only to the soldiers who serve in Israel’s armed forces, but also to Israeli citizens whose lives are under constant threat of attack. Over the years the number and range of Standing Together's programs have expanded. Whenever and wherever there is need, be it at times of war or over the Jewish holidays when soldiers are not with their families, Standing Together can be found distributing cheer, goodwill, appreciation, goodies and most of all, love, at military bases all over the country.
That's why I want to raise $720 for Standing Together and personally deliver Mishlochei Manot to soldiers that otherwise would not have the opportunity to receive them. That's the least I can do for these heroic young men and women, and in the process, assist in protecting Israel and its' people by helping those that watch over us!
