Dear Friends,

Since the beginning of Israel's Operation Protective Edge, Israeli soldiers have been exhibiting extraordinary bravery and risking their lives to protect the people of Israel, the country that they and we love.

While saving others, some soldiers lost their lives in this fight, and we are continuing grieving about them. A number of other soldiers have been severely injured, lost their limbs, maimed, and now are starting a long and excruciating rehabilitation process. Thousands of them are facing post-traumatic syndrome and years of treatment and uncertainty.

Now, these courageous soldiers need us the most!

Russian Jewish Community Foundation has decided to donate money to help wounded soldiers with a rehabilitation program. Money raised will be used for rehabilitation programs to deal with effects of life changing injuries and post-traumatic treatment.

Please donate to RJCF's Israel Emergency Fund so that we can all help Israel's wounded soldiers who fight for Israel and for us.

Donations can be sent to RJCF by check to 200 Wells Ave., Newton, MA 02459, or made online: rjcf.com - press "Donate" and then choose "RJCF Support IDF Fund."

Thank you for your support of Israel's soldiers.

RJCF Board of Directors
