[RBS] Join us in Sderot

[Yehuda and Rebecca Poch]

An organized trip to Sderot will be taking place on Friday March 4, in 
keeping with the spirit of Parshat Shkalim and Matanot LaEvyonim.  The 
trip will be leaving from the corner of Nahal Ein Gedi and Nahal Hever 
at 8:00 am in private vehicles (drivers needed).
We will be spending the morning in Sderot, assisting with the 
distribution of food to the needy of that city through the Afikim 
BaNegev Mercaz Chesed.

Avichai Amusi, head of the Mercaz Chesed (and a real mentsch) will be 
hosting us during the event, and will explain to us the essential nature 
of the Mercaz Chesed's various programs for the cities poor and 
elderly.  Donations are NOT necessary during this trip, but will be 
gratefully accepted.

Following our participation in the distribution of food, a tour of 
Sderot will be offered for anyone interested (weather permitting).  
Points of interest in the tour will include the lookout hill from where 
you can see the Gaza Strip, Ashkelon, the sea (on a clear day) and 
everything in between, as well as an outdoor park where the toys and 
facilities double as bomb shelters, and possibly a visit to the 
collection of Kassam rocket shells, depending on a police permit.  The 
tour will be guided in English, with Hebrew if requested.  There is also 
a possibility that we will be able to meet residents of Sderot who have 
been hurt in rocket attacks and learn about their situations first hand 
- details pending.

The group will also be free to do any pre-Shabbat shopping you wish in 
Sderot.

If you are interested in joining this trip, or you want more 
information, please contact Yehuda at yehudapoch at gmail.com or 
054-499-7624, so that we can get an idea of how many people will be 
joining.  You can also join us on Friday morning without previously 
"signing up".  There is no cost for the trip.


Estimated time of return to RBS is 12:00 give or take.
