5770 UPCOMING ACTIVITIES (Women in Green)

Dear Friends,

This new year is, according to our calendar, the year 5770. The year in the Jewish calendar is expressed by letters. 5770 equals the Hebrew letters "taf", "shin" "ayin"- which can be an acronym for "May this year be a year of Aliyah and increased activities"

Women in Green is starting the new year with exactly that: increasing, even more, our activities for the Land of Israel.

Below you will find a reminder about tomorrow's exciting chizuk trip to some of the outpost communities in Binyamin and Shomron. We have a few places left on our second bus. Yes, please G-d, the response has been tremendous and we will be, please G-d, a hundred people, at least, tomorrow that will go to strengthen our brothers in the hilltops of Israel's Biblical Heartland and come back strengthened.

After that you will find the details about our special program in SHDEMA on the first day of Hol Hamoed Sukkot, Sunday October 4th. A day of real Eretz Israel joy, for the entire family, NOT TO BE MISSED!

The struggle for a Jewish Shdema is receiving more and more attention by the media and the politicians.

It is important to have a big turn-out on Sukkot in Shdema. The more people show up, the more chance we have to keep Shdema in Jewish hands. Tell your family and friends about it. For those who want to receive the flyer about the Sukkot event in Shdema (flyer in English and Hebrew), please email us and we will email you the flyer so you can print it and post it in your synagogues and community centers.

Be a partner in the increased activities for the Land of Israel! Join us!
