Over 2,000 women from Crown Heights, Boro Park, Flatbush, Monsey and New Jersey turned out for a benefit concert for Gush Katif, held Sunday night in Oholei Torah. The event was chaired by Mrs. Miriam Swerdlov, and Assemblyman Dov Hikind was the guest speaker. Musical entertainment was provided by the Light Peddlars Band, Kineret, and Shimona. The highlight of the evening was a video presentation produced by Rochi Lebovic, depicting the reality of the lives of the Gush Katif refugees.

The inspiration for this evening came from Rochi Lebovic, who spent last summer in Gush Katif, and did all she could to support the expelled families and ameliorate their difficult plight. She is now committed to raising awareness of the deplorable situation of the Gush Katif refugees, many of whom have not received a penny of compensation from the government and now have no homes, jobs or security.
