Next week is Rosh Chodesh Elul, a time where Jews traditionally try to focus on Teshuva, Tefilla and Tzedakah (repenting, prayer, and charity.) I would like to mention a donation opportunity- the Cross Israel Hike, a fundraising event by the One Family Fund.
The One Family Fund provides a range of aid and assistance to victims of terror in Israel and their families. Assistance ranges from financial, medical and legal aid to emotional and psychological assistance to victims and their families.
The Cross Israel Hike will take place after the chagim, in late October. It begins in the Schoret canyon and ends in Eilat. There are a limited number of hikers who are raising funds through “sponsorship.”
To sponsor a participant online via secure online donation:
