Adopt a Soldier for SDEROT Israel
"Learn in order to Perform" (Pirkei Avoth)
Help Them Help Us
    
Rabbi Hammer offers students the opportunity to Adopt a Soldier from Sderot.
Students collect $36. This money is used to purchase combat gear such as night vision goggles and protective vests as well as basic needs such as sunscreen, thermal underwear, ski hats, t-shirts, deodorants, toothbrushes and toothpaste.
Principals of schools are given a list of names of soldiers from Sderot and students then write personal letters expressing their concern for the boys who are protecting their homeland.
Students will receive letters of appreciation from the soldiers they are in correspondence with.
This program is introduced by Rabbi Hammer's presentation, "A Soldier's Story" and can also include a short film about the Yeshivot Hesder Sderot and the boys from the Yeshiva, currently serving in the IDF.
אחינו כל בית ישראל
"OUR BROTHERS, THE ENTIRE FAMILY OF ISRAEL…"
"...you were able to engage 300 Middle School students for almost an hour and have them participate in the presentation. You simplified some difficult concepts and allowed the students to identify with situations they only heard about. Your army experiences and the important lessons you learned that you shared with us will stay with the students for a long time."
Rabbi Neil Winkler, Moriah School Englewood New Jersey
