Dear Arik;
On behalf of the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center located on the Sanford L. Ziff Campus, we would like to thank you for providing the music & sound at our South Florida Shops Israel program.

You added an 'Israel' ambiance to our event and helped enrich our program with the variety of Hebrew music played. You truly were an asset to our program & we are very happy to have gotten to know you.
Thank you so much for contributing your time and energy for a program that demonstrated our community's support for Israel.

Sincerely,
Iris Mizrahi, MSW

Dear Mr. Lev,

I wanted to share with you the responses I have been receiving from my friends in Israel as for the "Gabby and Mom kids' Show".
All my friends, unanimously, expressed their amazement from the obvious talent the Gabby has, proving the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and from the good music that was selected in the show.

For the sake of propriety I'd like to point out that I know Linda and Gabby from my last visit to the States and we kept in touch ever since and therefore I might be a bit prejudice, but I decided to send you this mail since I kept receiving wonderful responses from many people whom I sent the KolHalev link to in order to share with them the radio show.
Therefore, on behalf of my friends and myself, I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to enjoy both Linda and Gabby through the website, hoping that we'll be able to enjoy it like this for a long time.

Sincerely,
Ora Margalit

Dear Friends,

I came back from Israel 2 weeks ago after not having visited in 7 years. I was shocked by the poverty all around me-the closed shops and restaurants in downtown Tel Aviv, the unemployment, the stories of hunger and hopelessness. Living in the Diaspora, we all have the power to help. Every time you go to the supermarket buy at least one Israeli product (they have pickles, cheeses, olives, sauces, soups,chocolates, cookies, candy, tehina, chumous, ready salads and dips, pretzels etc.). There are 200 000 Jews in Canada.

If everyone bought an Israeli product every 2 weeks, that would be around $200,000 making it to the Desperate economy every few weeks just from Canada. If the idea caught on with American Jews, that could be $5.2 million every couple of weeks.
So, even if it you don't need it, if it is more expensive than a Canadian or American product, if it looks l ess appetizing than it's North American counterpart, BUY IT . Help Israel. Tell all your friends. Jewish kids are going to school hungry.

The economy is in shambles. Factories are closing. There are boycotts of Israeli products in Europe. You can make a difference. Tell all your friends. Pass on this email.

Don't forget our brothers and sisters in Israel.
