Project Shabbat Shalom – Bringing Hope and Comfort to Israel

Israir Major Sponsor of Israel Solidarity Mission – You Can Help!

Valley Stream, NY -– In a show of support for the beleaguered country of Israel, and in the hopes of providing strength and comfort to tens of thousands of Israelis who are under constant attack, Israir Airlines has announced that it will sponsor a Solidarity Mission to Israel.

Entitled ‘Project Shabbat Shalom,” the vital mission will take place the weekend of July 28, and will include many American supporters of Israel, who wish to provide moral, emotional, and spiritual support to the people of Israel who have been forced to disrupt their lives and evacuate their homes, and have been living in fear in the recent days. The group will also pay visits to victims of rocket attacks, as well as some of the many children who have been affected by recent tragedy.

A major aspect of the trip will be the distribution of toys and games to the thousands of children who are spending what should be their summer holiday trapped in shelters in the Northern part of Israel. Israir is calling upon anyone who can to donate games, books and portable electronic toys which will help the children pass the seemingly endless hours in the underground shelters. Toys can be dropped off by Wednesday, July 26 at Israir’s Offices at 11 Sunrise Plaza, suite 205, Valley Stream, NY. (In Crown Heights please drop off until Tuesday night at Kahan’s Superette at 317 Kingston Avenue.)

“When asked by future generations what we did for Israel when she needed us most – we always thought we could say that we stood with Israel,” said Stuart Katz, Managing Director of Israir Airlines. “But after further thought we realized that it just isn’t enough, and now we must stand in Israel.”
