Shopping Friday

February 17, 2008 - 5:51 PM by

We know things are bad in Sderot. And we know that local business people have been hit hard by the situation there.

It’s time to support Sderot’s community in a meaningful way. Because as this web message goes: We need to stand by brothers in need.

What to do?

Join a national effort to support Sderot residents next Friday, February 22nd.

Car convoys will be leaving Israel’s major cities and heading south to conduct Friday shopping in the shell-shocked city. So instead of hitting your usual haunts, head south to buy gifts, groceries, meds, shoes & clothing and while there, check into a local cafe for coffee and a meal.

Similar outings have pumped over 3 million shekels into Sderot’s ailing economy.

Convoys head out from the following points:

08:00 – Tel Aviv Bloomfield Stadium (next to “Gena Felafel)

07:00 – Haifa Congress Center

08:00 – Modiin – Parking Lot Across from the Municipal Building

07:30 – Jerusalem – Teddy Stadium

07:30 – Raanana – HaMashbir Parking Lot

08:00 – Rishon Le’Zion – Hai Kef

For details, check out this site.

Enough of: “What a terrible situation. Poor people.”

Time to get proactive!
