ZF Gilad Shalit Appeal

Gilad Shalit Rosh Hashanah Appeal

http://www.gilad.org.uk/

On the 25th June 2006, Gilad Shalit (aged just 19) was kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists in a cross border raid from the Gaza Strip. He has been held hostage by Hamas ever since.

During this Rosh Hashanah, we invite you to send your New Year Greetings to Gilad via http://www.gilad.org.uk/, which we will pass on to the International Red Cross and ask them to help us pass these messages onto Gilad. We will also pass the wishes onto his parents, to show that the world is still thinking of them and Gilad, and praying for his release.

Make sure the loneliest man in the world is not forgotten - your help will make a difference.

Holocaust Diaries & Memoirs

Melton Graduate Programme Holocaust Course -
THE HOLOCAUST IN DIARIES & MEMOIRS

In Autumn 2009, Ian Vellins will start to lead a course on the experiences of those who lived through the Holocaust.

Shortly after the fall of Warsaw to the German armed forces, a teacher, Chaim Aharon Kaplan (whose writings will be read in Lesson 3, Holidays and Occasions) made the following observation in his diary (October 7, 1939) regarding the fate of the Jews vis-à-vis that of the Poles:

‘Ours is a tragedy on a personal level, while theirs is so merely on a national level.’

It is only in the last few years that a new spotlight has been thrown upon learning about the daily life of the Jews in Occupied Europe, focusing on providing an understanding of what the individual Jew lived through.

Ian Vellins offers a 10 week Melton Graduate Course in the autumn please contact Makor 2680899 or email helen@makor.co.uk
