Imagine a city full of people that looks like a ghost town… Imagine a town where schools are closed more days than they are open… Imagine teenagers terrified to take showers because they may not hear the siren warning them that a missile is about to strike…
You’ve just imagined life in Sderot, Israel.
Each day, a constant barrage of missiles leaves children in Sderot terrified of leaving their own homes.
This July, Children of Sderot Summer Relief Project will airlift over 100 kids out of this hellish war zone to an enjoyable summer at 11 American Jewish Chabad camps.
During the day, they will play sports, laugh with new friends and explore their Judaism. At night, they’ll sleep without fear—for the first time in seven long years.
The directors of 11 large Chabad Jewish summer camps from Boston to Montreal to California have joined together to create this ambitious project. This grass-roots effort, born of these Jews’ great desire to help Sderot, was modeled after a very successful program last year in which 20 children were brought out of this war-zone for a “summer in heaven.”
A group of these children will be coming to Oxnard for a visit! Come meet them and show your support for the Holy Land!
