Giving Tuesday, is a global day dedicated to giving back.

Today Tuesday December 2, 2014, charities, families, businesses and students around the world will join in a common cause, to make the world better.

Their actions online will create a community of giving. Their generosity, and hope will create a better world- Tikun Olam.

We ask you to take advantage of this world wide movement to help douse the flames that are engulfing Israel. Each day the situation for Israelis and Palestinians spirals further and further out of control, stabbings, shootings, car attacks and the horrific terrorist attack at the Har Nof synagogue.  In the face of this violence, some will claim that seeking peace with the Palestinians is a luxury — or even an impossibility for Israel because of its security needs.

BUT THAT’S NOT TRUE!

Contradicting the claims of the current Israeli government, a near universal consensus of the Israeli security leadership has publicly argued that the Israeli government’s continuing failure to reach an agreement with the Palestinians and ending the Occupation is THE existential threat for Israel.

On this Giving Tuesday, please support Ameinu’s campaign to engage Jewish communities across North America to support Israeli security and a peaceful resolution to the conflict with the Palestinians.

The people who understand Israel’s true security needs issued a call to action on  November 2nd. 103 Israeli Generals and other top security officials published a letter calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu to immediately initiate peace negotiations based on the Arab Peace Initiative.

One signatory, reserve Major General Eyal Ben-Reuven, has been quoted as saying, “We’re on a steep slope toward an increasingly polarized society and moral decline, due to the need to keep millions of people under occupation on claims that are presented as security-related

Ameinu is committed to ensuring that the message of the Generals gets out to every Jewish community across North America.  But it can’t be done without your help to expand our program that provides Rabbis and other local leaders with free copies of the 2012 Oscar-nominated Israeli film The Gatekeepers, as well as the specially commissioned viewer’s guide by JJ Goldberg, where the six then-living former heads of Israel’s Shin Bet security service highlight the security imperative for Israel to make peace with her Palestinian neighbors. The Generals and the Gatekeepers are  support from the world’s Jewish community to move the Israeli government toward a solution.

Your gift today of $36, $54, $180, $250, $500 or whatever you can afford will help Ameinu to ensure that the views of the Generals and the Gatekeepers are heard.   In the face of seemingly endless violence and conflict, their voice of experience is an essential voice of hope for the future of Israel.

Please support the Generals, the Gatekeepers and Ameinu.  You can make your tax deductible gift online via our secure online portal: www.ameinu.net/join-us/donate/

Or send a check to Ameinu, 424 West 33rd Street, Suite 150, New York, NY 10001. Please note Giving Tuesday in the memo line.
