North American Jews Fundraising for Israeli Children

Save this online in Del.icio.us. [?] Vote For this Post

Canadian and American Jewish federations are raising funds to help move children in Israel's north further south, so that they may be out of range of Hezballah's Katyusha rockets.

I'd like to ask all my readers to make a donation to this crucial emergency fund to save the children. It takes 3 or four minutes on a 56 k modem, closer to 2 minutes on broadband. I've already made my pledge of $180, or 10 times the numerical equivalent of the letters in the hebrew word Chai, which means 'Life'.

For my Jewish and Christian readers, I'd like to remind you of the religious duty to give charity (and of the fact that these donations are tax deductible, for those of you to whom that's important). In Judaism it's called Tzedakah, and is fixed at 10%, or Ma'aser. Christianity calls it the tithe, and also fixes it at 10%.

Please, donate today.

Regionally, you can donate via the following communities websites. If you want to find your local community's site, try this "Jewish [Fed] Finder."

    Update: Feel free to copy this image my sorry photoshop skills put together: Israeli Child Lifesaver Danny Carlton of BlogAdSwap put it together in some simple javascript code you can copy and paste into your blog's template (remove the space between < and script, and again the spaces in the closing tag): < script src="http://resourceshop.net/lifesaver.js">< / script>. The script will display the smaller banner image/button lower down.




















    You can also post a button on your site.
    Israeli Button


    To add either image to your site, you can copy the appropriate html code and change the parentheses ( ) signs for bracket < > signs. The pictures will link to UJC, and the optional text will link back here as credit for the design. Or you can do things the easy way and grab the javascript Danny created, and which I posted above. Here it is again for your convenience: < script src="http://resourceshop.net/lifesaver.js">< /script>.

    To add the larger image, copy the following code: (a href="http://www.ujc.org")(img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4611/1938/1600/Israeli%20Lifesaver.jpg" border="0" alt="Israeli Fundraiser Lifesaver" /)(/a)(br)(a href="http://centrerion.blogspot.com/2006/07/north-american-jews-fundraising-for.html")Design Credit: (b)Centrerion Canadian Politics(/b)(/a)

    To add the smaller image to your site, copy the following code: (a href="http://www.ujc.org")(img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4611/1938/320/Israeli%20Lifesaver%20Button.0.jpg" border="0" alt="Israeli Fundraiser Button" /)(/a)(br)(a href="http://centrerion.blogspot.com/2006/07/north-american-jews-fundraising-for.html")Design Credit: (b)Centrerion Canadian Politics(/b)(/a)

    The end result works like this (click it to go to the UJC donation site):
