Chanucah Special Update 2007

Chanucah Sameach to all our members,

In this special Chanucah edition we've two important messages for you.
The first is from Rabbi Tony Bayfield. On his recent trip to Israel he
met Noam Schalit whose son Gilad was kidnapped over a year ago and still
being held in Gaza. He describes what he has done as well as what we can
all do to raise awareness of the situation and get action taken. Please
take some time as you light your candles at home or at synagogue to
think and talk about the three missing soldiers taken over 500 days ago
as well as the four taken over 20 years ago.

Our second message is from our friends at IRAC who have successfuly
lobbied for a new "Good Samaritan Law" in the Knesset which should
improve the nutrition of Israelis living in poverty across all sectors
of the community.

Chag Sameach
Daniel and all at Pro Zion
