Why Should I Give to Lema'an Achai??
* Question: I Live in Givat Sharett/Migdal Hamayim/Givat Savion/Bet Shermesh.
Why Should I Give to Lema'an Achai??
Answer: Lema'an Achai directly helps the needy of all Bet Shemesh in
two major projects, and five ongoing programs.
If you help fund these, Lema'an Achai will be able to continue these
programs, and even add more services, which are desperately needed in
Bet Shemesh.
** Program One: Lema'an Achai Branch Office **
Lema'an Achai has operated a Branch Office, since June 2007, located
about Broder's Pharmacy.
Under the professional management of Meir Crandel MSW (9996862;
9991553 X107), this program is focused on rehabilitating needy
families in Bet Shemesh.
Using methods developed & proven over the past nine years in Ramat
Bet Shemesh, called "Smart Chesed", this program is UNIQUE.
The objective is not to solely distribute hand-outs, which many
worthy organizations do throughout Israel, but to give these families
a Hand OUT - to solve problems and enable needy families to become
self-sufficient.
The Rambam says this is the highest form of tzedaka. We know from
experience, it's also the toughest to deliver effectively.
Lema'an Achai is the only organization which is supplying these
services in Bet Shemesh.
Some one hundred families from Bet Shemesh, suffering poverty and
crisis, have applied to join this program.
Fifteen of these families have met the program's criteria, and these
are now receiving the intensive help they need to get back on their feet.
We would accept more families, many more, if we had more human and
financial resources to do this.
Your Help Needed: a generous individual donor gave the start-up
funding for the first year's activities only.
The responsibility for continuing & expanding this unique Bet Shemesh
program has now passed to the whole community.
Please donate now to keep this program in Bet Shemesh!
You can also designate your donation for Kimche Depischa for these
fifteen very special Bet Shemesh families - 1800 NIS is the cost for
each family.
** Program Two - Free Dental Clinic **
Did you know that poor people have more pain, worse teeth and more
aural disease?
This is as a result of un-affordable routine dentistry
(stitch-in-time), toffee-diets (cheap energy), and often non-existent
dental hygiene (education).
Lema'an Achai are the sole suppliers of FREE dental services to the
needy of Bet Shemesh.
In the first year of activity, the Lema'an Achai Free Dental Clinic,
located in the old Shuk in Bet Shemesh, has delivered relief to FOUR
THOUSAND children in Bet Shemesh.
This has been achieved in partnership with Tamar Sion, who have
generously provided funding.
* Other Lema'an Achai Programs **
In addition to these two major new Bet Shemesh programs, other
Lema'an Achai programs in RBS also help residents of Bet Shemesh, such as:-
* Financial Seminars - helping people to get by on an Israeli salary
* "Ayala Shlucha" - help for families with serious illness, lo aleinu
* Free Loan Fund - bridging loans, to keep debt from spiralling out of control.
* Citizens Advocacy Center - know your rights, and receive practical
help to get them!
* ShemeShop - thrift shop - shortly moving to the Matnas RBS- open
to everyone!
Lema'an Achai is ambitious to spread the benefits of Smart Chesed to
all in Bet Shemesh, expand, and open new programs - but this can only
be achieved with YOUR help.
* Question: Yes, I want to support these activities. How Can I Donate?
Answer: Tizku lemitzvot!

As the Rebbe of all Rebbes and the recognized third-generation leader of Chassidus, the Noam Elimelech is revered for his holiness and brilliance. His profound sefer of Torah elucidations has been diligently studied for centuries. But how many can truly understand his lofty teachings? In this groundbreaking, first-ever English rendition of selections from the Noam Elimelech's classic sefer, Rabbi Tal Moshe Zwecker has opened the world of chassidus - the world of the Noam Elimelech to the English speaking public. With essays based on the weekly parashah and various appendices, including his famous "tzeitel katan" and his stirring "prayer before prayer", every one will be deeply moved and inspired by this important and profound work.

Hakaras HaTov for MADA, Hatzolah, FireFighters
I saw this on an email list its Touching Moving & Important for us to internalize
A request to the public "What I Wish People Knew About MADA Hatzolah, EMS, Firefighters, Dispatchers, & Law Enforcement"
I wish you could know what it is like to search a burning bedroom for trapped children at 3 AM, flames rolling above your head, your palms and knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your weight as the kitchen below you burns.
I wish you could comprehend a husband's horror at six in the morning as I check his wife of 40 years for a pulse and find none. I start CPR anyway, hoping to bring her back, knowing intuitively it is too late...but wanting her husband and family to know everything possible was done to try to save her life.
I wish you knew the unique smell of burning insulation, the taste of soot-filled mucus, the feeling of intense heat through your turnout gear, the sound of flames crackling, the eeriness of being able to see absolutely nothing in dense smoke-sensations that I've become too familiar with.
I wish you could read my mind as I respond to a building fire. 'Is this a false alarm or a working fire? How is the building constructed? What await me? Is anyone trapped?' Or to call, 'what is hazards wrong with the patient?Is it minor or life threatening? Is the caller really in distress, or is he waiting for us with a 2x4 or a gun?'
I wish you could be in the emergency room as a doctor pronounces dead the beautiful five-year old girl that I have been trying to save during the past25 minutes, who will never go on her first date or say the words, 'I love you Mommy' again.
I wish you could know the frustration I feel in the cab of the engine or unit, the driver with his foot pressing down hard on the pedal, my arm tugging again and again at the air horn chain... as you fail to yield the right-of-way at an intersection or in traffic. When you need us, however, your first comment upon our arrival will be, 'It took you forever to get here!'
I wish you could know my thoughts as I help extricate a girl of teenage years from the remains of her automobile. 'What if this was my daughter, sister, my girlfriend or a friend? What are her parents' reaction going to be when they open the door to find a police officer with hat in hand?'
I wish you could know how it feels to walk in the back door and greet my parents or family, not having the heart to tell them that I nearly did not come back from the last call.
I wish you could know how it feels dispatching officers, firefighters and EMT's out and when we call for them and our heart drops because nobody answers back, or to hear a bone chilling 911 call of a child or wife needing assistance.
I wish you could feel the hurt as people verbally, and sometimes physically, abuse us or belittle what I do, or as they express their attitudes of 'It will never happen to me.'
I wish you could realize the physical, emotional and mental drain, missed meals, lost sleep and forgone social activities, in addition to all of the tragedy my eyes have seen.
I wish you could know the brotherhood and self-satisfaction of helping to save a life or preserving someone's property, or being able to be there in time of crisis, or creating order from total chaos.
I wish you could understand what it feels like to have a little boy tugging at your arm and asking, 'Is Mommy okay?' and not even being able to look in his eyes without tears from your own and not knowing what to say...Or have to hold back a long time friend who watches his buddy having CPR per formed on him as you take him away in the Medic Unit. You know all along that he did not have his seat belt on, a sensation that I have become too familiar with.
Unless you have lived with this kind of life, you will never truly understand or appreciate who I am, we are, or what our job really means to us... I wish you could though.
KEEP SENDING THIS ON.
APPRECIATE AND SUPPORT OUR LOCAL MADA, POLICE, VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS AND HATZOLAH IN OUR AREA
ONE DAY THEY MAY BE SAVING YOUR PROPERTY OR YOUR OWN LIFE.
WHEN YOU SEE THEM COMING WITH LIGHTS FLASHING, QUICKLY MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, TO THE RIGHT, THEN PRAY FOR THEM AS THEY PASS BY...
Have a safe day.

Day of prayer and fasting this Tuesday in response to the threats facing the Jewish people
The hareidi-religious Council of Torah Sages in Israel and the United States has issued a call for a day of prayer and fasting this Tuesday in response to the threats facing the Jewish people.
Addressed to “Our fellow Jews living in Eretz Yisroel (the Land of Israel) and to Jewish communities everywhere,” the proclamation continues: “The difficult situation of the Jewish community in Eretz Yisroel fills us with trepidation. Nobody knows what the new day will bring. In our sins, we see the fulfillment of the posuk [Biblical verse] "Behold Your enemies are in uproar and those who hate You have raised their heads. Against Your nation they deviously plot, and take counsel against those whom You protect." Our eyes are lifted in prayer to the Creator, that all of the goings-on in the world turn out for the good.
“From both within and without the crisis mounts. The danger threatens both body and soul. During these days, items are on agendas that could place entire populations of Jews into grave danger, G-d forbid - including those in the Holy City of Jerusalem. Further, there are constant attempts to undermine the foundations of pure education in Eretz Yisroel and to cause harm to the holiness of the Nation of Israel.
Therefore it is incumbent on us to fortify ourselves with Torah, prayer and good deeds, to awaken the mercy of Heaven.“Dear brethren, awaken and inspire yourselves to pour out prayer before the Creator of the world, that He have pity and protect His nation from all who stand up against us, that He abolish the intentions of those who hate us and nullify the plots of our enemies, and that the eyes of the misguided be opened to the realization that their path is foolishness and they should leave Hashem's nation to guard its path and faith, without hindrance or interference.
We therefore call on members of Hashem's holy nation in all the places they reside, men, women and children, to gather in tefilla [prayer] on Tuesday, Erev Rosh Chodesh Adar Rishon, 5768, to recite chapters of Psalms and the liturgy of Yom Kippur Koton .
May Hashem hear our pleas, and turn His face to us so that we may be saved with a permanent salvation soon. And let us merit to see, quickly, the redemption of Yisroel, and gaze upon the building of the Beis HaMikdosh, quickly in our days, amen.
The proclomation is signed by the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah (the hareidi-religious Council of Torah Sages), and the hareidi political parties Agudas Yisroel (Chassidic) and Degel HaTorah ("Flag of Torah”) – together the United Torah Judaism party. It was joined by the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America.

The Latest local War?
Will we have more violence, road closures and sinas chinam in RBS B? Will this spill over into RBSA again? Does anyone know exactly what they are planning to build in Resido center that is antagonizing the Rabbis & residents in RBS B?
This appeared in Afersemon and is hanging in places around RBS: (translation is paraphrased)
"Resido Center is in the final stages of construction on Nahar Yarden corner of Herzog, this large building is a grave spiritual danger for the entire area and can chalila ruin the entire investment of sweat and blood by the Rabbis and institutions of the neighborhoods which spread Torah and Judaism."
"Since the initiatives and trials of our Rabbis have until now not suceeded in anything and these [people] are still stubborn and continue to be rebel."
(in large letters) "WE ARE THEREFORE WARNING
the Resido company and all parties involved cease and desist this very moment, do a last minute about face and change your destructive plans to change the face of our pure and holy neighborhood."
"Because we will fight with great might and fierceness because this touches our souls!"
"(You may well remember that in the past in Bnei Brak they tried to build a shopping mall and they did not succeed)"
"Charedi Beit Shemesh is ready and prepared to fight for its soul"
(in large letters) "WITH A GREAT FORCE"
"To distance from our homes this leperous growth who knows the consequences!"
SIGNED "The public committee to save the neighborhood" (be prepared for a continuation of details to follow"

Lema'an Achai 2007
Your support of Lema'an Achai during 2007 achieved miracles & wonders.
By the nature of what Lema'an Achai does, most of these achievements cannot be publicly reported.So here's some *highlights* that we CAN tell you about...Yeshar koach to our wonderful donors in RBSA!
Services We Delivered to Local Families Suffering Poverty & Crisis...
* FIVE THOUSAND Four Hundred & Ninety Three Hours of support & counseling by our in-house professional team of Social Workers
* Six Hundred & Sixteen Hours of Psychiatric/Psychological Therapy!
* EIGHT THOUSAND Free Dental Treatments - over Five Thousand for Kids!!
* Seven Hundred and Six Hours of Professional After-School Teaching for Kids at Risk!
* Sixty Families received Advocacy Services (new service in 2007!) - 40 of these have had their cases successfully resolved, so far!
* Forty Families Received Intensive Financial Counseling - saving thousands of shekels for each family.
* Over One Hundred and Sixty Families (over one THOUSAND people) received Regular, Reliable Food Stamps - so no-one goes hungry.
* A further One THOUSAND nine hundred & twenty food supplementary packages were delivered (including our unique Shmita-Friendly Aid Packages!!)....and a Further FOURTEEN Projects, Programs & Services, running 24/6!!....by OVER TWO HUNDRED talented devoted & industrious Volunteers!!
We are delighted to report that Forty-Six Families (29%) no longer required Lema'an Achai's assistance, during 2007.
Of these, Twenty-Seven Families (17%) Achieved Independence in 2007 Directly Due to Lema'an Achai.Other Amazing Achievements:-
* Lema'an Achai's joint Social Services Program with The Gush Katif Settlers Council played a critical role in obtaining FIVE HUNDRED MILLION (half a billion!) NIS of Additional Aid for Gush Katif Evacuees, as a supplement to the Evacuation & Compensation Law, in June 2007.
* Lema'an Achai received The Bet Shemesh Prize & Recognition during 2007, for its Leadership Role in hosting & aiding over one THOUSAND refugees from the Second Lebanon War of 2006.
* Lema'an Achai was multiply cited, as part of a whole chapter focusing on Bet Shemesh (the only city to merit this), by the Ben Gurion University National Report on the Response of the Non-Profit Sector during the Second Lebanon War (the non-Government equivalent of the Winograd Report), published in 2007.
* Lema'an Achai established its First Branch Office, located in Migdal Hamayim, servicing Bet Shemesh, Givat Sharet and Migdal Hamayim (in memory of Emma and Simon Wang z"l).
* The Municipality of Bet Shemesh Granted Lema'an Achai a Two Dunam (that's to say, big!) Building Site, on Prime Real Estate on Nachal Dolev, RBS.
Lema'an Achai has ambitious plans (and commitments!) to Help More People Even Better during 2008 - which will require a whopping twenty percent increase in funding.
ALL of this has been achieved, and will be achieved Be"H, solely due to the financial support of private local donors - YOU.
Yeshar Koach and Thank You to Everyone!
We look forward to your continuing and increasing support during this new financial year.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!
