IMPORTANT REMINDER: CASINO NIGHT POSTPONED Due to the situation in Israel, Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo will not be holding the Casino Night event this Sunday, August 3 as planned. Instead, Federation leadership has decided to focus resources on the Stop the Sirens campaign and continued support of the people of Israel at this very difficult time. Why Federation? Why now? • Because the Government of Israel has asked Jewish Federations to intensify their efforts in providing humanitarian support to the people of Israel. • Because Iranian-backed Hamas’ upgraded military capabilities mean that today, three-quarters of Israelis live within range of rocket fire. • Because in the precious few seconds between a siren blast and a rocket hit, lives can be destroyed, or changed forever. • Because the elderly, the disabled, the disadvantaged and new immigrants have specific and urgent needs for comfort and care. • Because if the past is any guide, the majority of charitable contributions that will help the Israeli people during times of crisis will come from Jewish Federation. • Because Federation can uniquely access a wide network of support, reaching the most Jews in the most communities in the U.S. and Canada. Because we stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Israel always. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. We look forward to the future with you, when we will be celebrating peace in Israel.
