Here is their New Year Resolution for Israel:

Despite my political efforts on Israel's behalf, the every-day lives of those courageous men and women living in Israel are unaffected. I recognize that these people rely on their own indomitable spirits and belief in both G-d and the Jewish state to keep the pulse of Israel strong.

In the coming year, it is my resolution to be more involved with the social and financial lives of the people in Israel, to learn from them and provide my whole-hearted encouragement and support.

Below is a partial list of ideas to get you started.

• Hire an Israeli company or freelancer for your next outsourcing or non-location specific job
• Give an Israeli a full-time job or convince your boss to open an Israeli branch
• Watch online television broadcast from Jerusalem, just for you
• Listen and call in to talk-radio shows, hosted by your friends in Israel
• Fill your iPod with short daily Torah classes, delivered from the source of all Torah
• Shop online at lots of Israeli stores and malls
