By Faige Lobel,
Public Relations Director, Manhigut Yehudit USA

Nearly 450 people turned out for the Manhigut Yehudit 4th Annual Dinner on Shushan Purim (March 15, ’06) and they gave Israeli hero, Avi Bieber, a standing ovation. Avi is the young soldier who stood up to his commanding officer and a Brigadier General at Shirat HaYam, Gush Katif, informing them in no uncertain terms that Jews do not beat Jews, Jews do not expel Jews – it’s not right and it’s not just! For those statements, captured live on video and TV, Corporal Avi Bieber spent 56 days in jail. read more

Olmert’s Withdrawal: “Against United States Interests”

Americans Unite Against Further Pullout, by Aaron Klein

Excerpts;

Group calls Israeli plan to cede strategic territory victory for worldwide terror.

A number of Christian and Jewish American groups have announced the formation of an umbrella organization that will lobby against acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s plan to withdraw Jewish communities from the West Bank, arguing in part any withdrawal would be against United States interests.

“Olmert’s plan means the destruction of the Jewish state. Judea and Samaria is part of Israel’s biblical homeland. It borders Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and most other major Israeli cities. There is not a single doubt if Israel vacated this heartland it would be turned over to Islamic terror groups for use to attack Israel with missiles,” said Susan Roth, founder of the United Front for the Land of Israel, the new coalition of American organizations acting against an Israeli West Bank evacuation. read more

Parshiyot Vayakhel/Pekudei 5766: Unity of Klal Israel = Leadership Accountability & Transparency

by, Moshe Burt

This author has used the expression before, but this year it is truly appropo; What a difference a year makes. Last year, on Shushan Purim, rather than partying with the Rav in Jerusalem on Shushan Purim, a group of us were in Neve Dekalim installing a Sefer Torah. It was a gala celebration against that looming expulsion, then 4 1/2 months off. We installed the Sefer Torah and davened to Hashem that the gezeira be lifted. read more

Mofaz Presents Israel’s Final Borders

Full Text;

Israel will begin setting its final borders over the next two years according to a plan based on including the major West Bank settlement blocs and the Jordan Valley, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.

Spelling out his vision of the future borders, Mofaz said in an exclusive interview that Israel would retain control over the settlements of Ofarim and Beit Aryeh, currently on the Palestinian side of the security fence. He also indicated that the withdrawal from the West Bank would include civilians and the military. But, he said, Israel would retain a “free hand” to operate within the evacuated areas at its discretion. read more

Prove Israel Cares About World Jewry, by Michael Freund

Excerpts;

For a country that is supposed to be concerned with safeguarding Jewish interests around the globe, Israel sure has a funny way of showing it. To get a sense of how the government views this issue, I decided to take a look at the Web site of the Ministry for Diaspora Affairs, which seemed like the natural place to start.

As it turns out, the Diaspora Affairs Ministry does not even have its own Web site, which speaks volumes about the role this body plays in serving as a bridge to world Jewry. Instead, it gets a whopping total of one – count ’em, one! – Web page that is static and bereft of any useful data, and which is, moreover, buried away deep within the confines of the Prime Minister’s Office site. read more

Received this email overnight from an activist. This author holds that this is a MUST READ and a MUST for Action.

Every Jew Deserves a Pesach, Even Jews from Gush Katif

Dear friends,

Today, while at the Jerusalem Conference at the (old Hyatt) Regency Hotel in Jerusalem, my friends and I had the opportunity to meet one of the Gush Katif mothers who lives there. She mentioned how worried all the Gush Katif families at the Regency and other hotels were, because they have all received EVICTION NOTICES. They have been told to vacate the premises (in different cases) between ten days and three weeks from now. Their caravans and caravillas are not yet ready. Nonetheless, they have been informed that they are being kicked out of their hotel rooms. They have nowhere to go. read more
