| Tzedakah Monday: Chanukah Goodies for IDF Soldiers | |

This Chanukah: Hook a soldier up.Connections Israel started nearly a decade ago to aid Jewish communities and schools worldwide in their support for Israel. Mostly, they focus on implementing educational programs to help support IDF soldiers with gift baskets and a sort of pen pal link-up. Mostly. But not entirely, by any means.
This Chanukah, for as little as $10, or as much as $120, you can help. Ten bucks gives a IDF soldier a gift basket, $36 donates a gift basket to either a Sderot family or a family victimized by terror and $120 sponsors an educational program for thirty students. Or, you can donate any amount and earmark if for any of Connections Israel's specific causes.
While you're hooking up our friends in the IDF, hit Pizza IDF, a website that allows you to donate anything from sufganyiot, pizza or burgers and sodas or hearty soups to soldiers from as little as three bucks! Or, check Dash Cham, an Israeli candymaker who will deliver treats to soldiers for ten bucks. Easy ways to bring a little light.

I love Pizza IDF
I've given through Pizza IDF a number of times and give them two thumbs up. Hooray!
Ismail
large cheese, hold the war crimes...
Suppose I want to send a pizza to one of the courageous refuseniks who take their commitments to humanity seriously and decline to participate in the ethnic cleansing operations that comprise the bulk of IDF activity?
Is there an option for that?
Arabs lie!
Take your Islamic propaganda and shove it up your ass!
It's the Arab occupiers who are committing ethnic cleansing against the Jews in the Jewish homeland. The courageous IDF soldiers have to fight blood-thirsty savages who use children and women as human shields. Leave us alone and go back to your Hamas and Al-Queda websites where your evil Jew-hating comrades are.
Ismail
forget it, I'll just have a burger...
Jeez, what a hothead.
By the way, Arabs lie!, love your screen name. Tell me, did you come up with that just for my sake, or have you chosen this way to identify yourself for a while now?
Adam Shprintzen
Sadly there also isn't a Hams for Hamas charity...
Sorry Ismail, you can't send to the refuseniks...but if you'd like you could covertly send a pie with pepperoni and hope that it lands in a haredi squadron just to taunt them.
