On Thursday, December 2, 2010, a forest fire broke out in Israel's Carmel countryside, which spread rapidly across the tinder-dry land, left parched after the hottest November in Israel in 60 years. Forty-one people died, and tens have been injured and 10,000 residents, including 600 prison inmates, were evacuated as the blaze raged out of control, devastating hundreds of acres of pine forest before sweeping down the slopes of the Carmel plateau towards Israel's third largest city. As of Friday the blaze had spread and currently the fire is not yet under control. We know that many people's first instinct is to help, and we know that there are many good ways to do that. 1) Prayer - At moments like these, we believe that prayers help as well. Click here for a prayer for Israel at this moment of need from the Masorti Movement in Israel. Please share this prayer on your listserves and recite it on Shabbat with your kehillah. 2) Donations - We suggest donating through Masorti,the Conservative movement in Israel. The fund will meet immediate relief needs, including housing. After that, money will be spent on longer-term relief volunteer efforts through Noam, Masorti's youth movement in Israel. Any leftover funds will go to our partners, the Jewish National Fund, as a gift from the Conservative/Masorti movement.
To donate online, go to Masorti's contribution page and click on the Fire Emergency Fund link in the Program Designation dropdown menu. To donate by check, send it to:
Masorti Foundation 475 Riverside Drive Suite 832 New York NY 10115 and note that it's for the "Fire Emergency Fund", or call the foundation at 212-870-2216 to donate by credit card.
