The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

Occupation magazine - Activism Home page  back Print  Send To friend Tisha B`Av visit to threatened villages On Tisha B`Av we remember past destructions and disasters, but by afternoon experience glimmers of hope, `Observe what is right and do what is just, for soon My Salvation shal come... Happy is hte one who does this....Who stays his/her hand from doing any evil.`(Haftara for Minkha on Fast Days, Isaiah 56:1-2) There are those among us who believe that the command emanating from our history of destructions is not to do to others whatr was done to us. The First Activity of Our New NGO in the Making-`Khakel (The Field)-A Covenant of Human Rights Defenders` This Tisha B`Av, after the Minkha prayers, please join Rabbi Arik Ascherman on a pilgrimage between endangered villages on both sides of the Green Line, villages that have experienced, or are in immanant danger of destruction. We will pray for and renew our committment to the end of destructions. Together with the young people who will spend Shabbat Hazon in Susya and in front of Israeli Embassies and Consulates around the world, we will open the `Four Villages Campaign` dedicated to saving the same villages we will be visiting: El Araqib (That has been demolishced 101 times); Umm Al HIran (Where the bulldozers are preparing the first stage of Jewish `Hiran` that will eventually expand over the rubble of Bedouin Umm Al Hiran); Susya; Umm Al Khir (The forces of the Jewish State demolished 5 houses this week, as `Regavim` (Acting as judge, jury and executioner) looked on. https://www.facebook.com/events/1639950766227291 English Follows Hebrew חובה לתאם הצטרפות עם הרב אריק אשרמן: ravarik@gmail.com` 050-5607034 (הסעות: י-ם 14:30 מגן הפעמון ת`א 14:30 משיבת ציון 18 (ע`י התחנה המרכזית You must coordinate participation with Rabbi Arik Ascherman: ravarik@gmail.com, 050-5607034 Departure: Jerusalem 14:30 Liberty Bell Garden Parking Lot, Tel Aviv 14:30 Shivat Tzion 18 (Near Central Bus Station) English Follows Hebrew הרב אריק אשרמן נייד 050-5607034 סקייפ: ravarik פייסבוק: Arik Ascherman טוויטר: ravarik Rabbi Arik Ascherman Cell Phone: 972 50 5607034 U.S. Cell: (206) 250-1451 Skype: ravarik Facebook: Arik Ascherman Twitter: ravarik Links to the latest articles in this section June 4, 2020 - "UN Forum: Threats of Annexation and the Prospects for Peace”, livestreamed on UN Web Israeli Court Rules Against Demolition of Dozens of Palestinian Family Homes ‘Justice for Iyad, justice for George’: Hundreds protest police killing of Palestinian in Jerusalem
