Dear Fellow Jews from Katrina-Stricken New Orleans




Biloxi´s Beth Israel Congregation, the only synagogue on the Mississippi coast, still stands two blocks from the beach, though the building suffered heavy damage. Larry Brook/Deep South Jewish Voice

Dear Fellow Jews from Katrina-Stricken New Orleans,

We continue to be saddened at the terrible tragedy that has befallen the southern coast of the United States. We would like to express our pain and share in your sorrow over your family's misfortune and that of the disintegration of your community.

All of Israel is bound to and responsible for one another, and in this spirit we pray for your welfare and wish to help out in whichever ways we can.

The prospect of rebuilding your lives in a new location must be very foreboding. New schools, new work, new communities, new homes. Many of us, ourselves, are facing similar challenges, though under different circumstances - the result of the "disengagement."

Could it be that this is the right opportunity for you to rebuild with us, here in Israel?

Aliyah to Israel in normal circumstances is not easy, from several standpoints. But now that you have been forced to make such a sharp switch, might it not be a good idea to grab the bull by the horns and turn it into the ideal Zionist/Jewish turnabout?

We are living in a complex, puzzling and difficult period, with many crises facing us both nationally and across the world. Confusion, bewilderment and frustration are our lot at present. The challenges are great, and the rewards can be even greater. Amidst it all, we believe in the light of the Redemption of Israel, of the revival of the Jewish People in our Land, and the delicate but strong light that will arise from the darkness.

Housing, employment and educational opportunities abound here in Israel, and we can help find them for you. You can choose from small communities in Yesha, to large cities in central Israel, and many different options in between. We invite you to start anew here with us in the Land of Israel, the Land of our Fathers, "to build and be rebuilt."

May we all merit to see your rebuilding together with the rebuilding of the Land of Israel and Jerusalem.

Sincerely,

Ariel Fendel, a student of the expelled Yeshivat Torat haCahim from Gush Katif who has now started the school year in Shoresh
