Remembering Gush Katif
Friends of the Gush Katif Museum in Jerusalem is extending a community wide invitation to its first annual dinner to be held at the Razag Ballroom, 739 East New York Avenue, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, on Wednesday, February 22, at 6 p.m.
The goal of the dinner is to commemorate the tragic destruction and expulsion of 21 established Jewish communities in Gaza and four in the northern Shomron in August of 2005 and to mobilize to prevent similar attempts in Judea and Samaria.
The Gush Katif Museum, at 5 Shaarei Tzedek Street in Jerusalem, opened in 2008 to educate the public about the dire conditions of those expelled from the communities and to thwart any future attempts at dismantling any other Jewish towns in Israel. Over 100,000 people have visited the museum so far, including members of Knesset and congressmen.
John Bolton, U.S. Ambassador to the UN from 2005-2006 wil be the keynote speaker. He will be joined by noted talk show host Glenn Beck, and comedian and commentator Jackie Mason who will address the dinner via Skype. Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpo with his organization SOS-Israel will be joining forces in this effort with Americans For a Safe Israel (AFSI) and the Executive Committee of The World Committee of the Land of Israel.
To RSVP call 718-989-2767, go to GushKatifMuseum@hotmail.co.il or www.sos-israel. AFSI is offering subsidized rates to members if needed(www.afsi.org) as is The World Committee for the Land of Israel.
