Nevertheless, I am serious about wanting to match $1000 in contributions given to the Israeli charities listed by any readers. Other bloggers, feel free to repost the modified posting below:
-----------------------------------------
Between now and July 28, for any money that you donate to one of the Israeli charities listed below, I will match it, up until we get to a total of $1000.
After you donate, copy your receipt and email it to elderchallenge-at-gmail.com (you should XXX out the credit card number.) Or we can use the honor system if you are paranoid; just let me know. Afterwards, I will match your contributions to the charity or charities you chose. I will try to keep updated blog entries throughout the week showing a running total.
At this time, the total is only $50, so let's please get moving!
Here are the organizations you can donate to, all via the web:
Special note to readers who claim to be anti-Zionist but not anti-Jewish: you should have no problem contributing to Zaka, Yad Sarah and MDA. Let's see you put your money where your mouth is!
BurgerIDF.org and PizzaIDF.org delivers great food and morale to the brave soldiers defending their land.
Zaka is the world famous organization that offers first response service to terror attacks.
American Friends of Magen David Adom.
Yad Sarah is bringing medical equipment to the northern communities that are under attack.
Friends of the IDF provides equipment and morale-boosting for the soldiers.
