URGENT: “Stop The Encagement Of Rachel’s Tomb”, by Evelyn Haies, President Rachel’s Children Reclamation Foundation, and Beit Bnei Rachel Corp

Note: When pictures of the various recently erected walls encaging Kever Rachel arrive, they will be posted here. MB

Excerpts;

“On February 1, 2006, Shevat 3, Rachel’s Children Reclamation Foundation hosted a wonderful shiur at our house, Beit Bnei Rachel adjoining Kever Rachel by a corridor the army had us build on what we named Derech Chaya Rachel. Atara Gur spoke to a group of women about the Jewish Mother who was buried “on the way”. She spoke of Rachel’s ohel in Beis Lechem as a house of bread, provisions, family, unity as presented in a special Siddur Rachel Imeinu, compiled in 1911 by a Yerushalimi. It was sad and demeaning to have been blocked from traveling directly via Hevron Road as was the custom or Jewish Pilgims for 3600 years. It was inspiring and comforting to learn of Rachel’s midos and the prognosis for a better world.” read more

Parsha Yithro 5766: Awaiting Just Law, Enforcement and Justice
By, Moshe Burt

We read each day in Pesukei D’Zimrah (The praises of G’d), “He balks at the designs of peoples. Many designs are in man’s heart, but the counsel of Hashem — only it will prevail.”

We watched as a bullying, hard-hearted Prime Minister bulldozed through his hateful, vindictive expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif in those fateful days in August, 2005 as his opponents stood divided against themselves, seemingly handcuffed as the fate of thousands of Gush Katif residents hung in the balance while the old General divided, conquered and forced the expulsion’s actualization. read more

High Homeless Numbers for Expulsion Refugees

Full Text;

“According to a report by the Committee of Gaza Settlements, almost a third of the refugees from the expulsion of Jewish communities from Gaza are still homeless.“

“Figures provided by the Disengagement Authority and the Committee show that some thirty percent of the 8,000 Jews who were forced out of their homes last summer are still living in hotels, some entire families in school dormitories and even tents.“

“The two agencies agreed on little else, however. Despite some progress in finding sites for the communities to re-establish themselves, the jobless rate for the refugees remains high.“ read more
