EMERGENCY APPEAL FOR TSFAT
AN URGENT MESSAGE from the Nachal Novea Tsfat Fund REGARDING THE PERILOUS
SITUATION IN THE HOLY CITY OF TSFAT AND THE UPPER GALILEE
The recent missile attacks launched by Hezbollah on Northern Israel including
the historic and holy city of Tsfat reveals to the world the great strategic
nature of this area for the Jewish People and all the State of Israel.
Residents of the Tsfat and Meron area have suffered fatalities and dozens of
casualties. Many homes and buildings have been destroyed. It should be noted
that the vast majority of the missiles have been directed to the homes and lives
of innocent residents of the Old City. Many have chosen to evacuate, others
remain steadfast as guardians of the city and the sacred sites they treasure.
Emergency economic relief is necessary to sustain the residents of the city who
wish to remain and to assist in the rebuilding effort.
Tsfat is the capital of the Upper Galilee and hosts the headquarters of the
IDF Northern command. Tsfat is where Prime Minister Olmert and Defense Minister
Peretz received their briefings yesterday from commanders of the IDF.
Attacks by Hezbollah not only threaten lives but strike at the future of one
of Israel’s holiest sites. Tsfat and Meron are places that have given the Jewish
people some of its most important contributions of liturgy, Kabbalah and Jewish
tradition. These are treasures that the Jewish people must guard and not
abandon.
At the behest of our leadership, we ask for your prayers for all of Israel’s
embattled citizens and ask you show your solidarity by supporting the families
of Tsfat at this critical time. The personal and economic impact on our families
is enormous. (Funds will be distributed by need and will be made available to
all victims regardless of affiliation.)
