As I mentioned earlier, I am currently on assignment in Israel, checking out how the UJC, the JDC and JAFI are spending money to help the citizens of Sderot, who have been under Hamas rocket fire for almost eight years now.
I’m with a mission that includes a half dozen or so editors of Jewish newspapers and about 10 UJC, JDC and JAFI staff. I’ll be sending dispatches whenever possible, hopefully with pictures and video if I can ever get them to work…
