JobKatif: Help Former Residents of Gush Katif

From an email I received this morning via Yeshivat Har Etzion

"40% of the formerly gainfully employed former residents of Gush Katif are still unemployed. As time goes on, their situations grow more involved and more desperate. Jobkatif, founded by Rabbi Yosef Zvi Rimon, a Rav in Yeshivat Har Etzion, helps these people stand again on their own two feet. Rabbi Rimon, and Benni Gur, Chairman of the International Volunteer Fundraising Committee, will be in the US at the end of February and in March 2007 to create greater support for Jobkatif and its efforts.

Please help us help the former residents of Gush Katif.

If you are interested in meeting with Rabbi Rimon or Benni Gur, or joining in partnership with projects of Jobkatif, please write to bgjobkatif@mesimot.com, or call 972-2-993-3996 to arrange a meeting. Visit our website, www.jobkatif.org.il – all donations are tax-deductible in the United States (checks should be made payable to The Central Fund for Israel, at Jobkatif, c/o Central Fund for Israel, 980 Sixth Avenue, New York, NY 10018) or in Israel at Jobkatif, P.O.
