 UWI’s Trip to Support the South: A Huge Success!
On Sunday, April
28, 2013, the Jewish holiday of Lag B’omer, United with Israel
held a special event in southern Israel to demonstrate solidarity with Israeli
communities that have been pounded with rocket fire over the last 13
years. Nearly 100 people, including lots of kids, joined us on a hot
summer-like day in the south.
The day started
out by visiting the grave of the Baba Sali, otherwise known as Rabbi Yisrael
Abuhatzeira, a great Moroccan rabbi and kabbalist who was known to have the
ability to perform miracles. On Lag B’omer, although hundreds of
thousands of Jews flock to the grave of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in Meron
(located in the Galilee), others visit the grave of the holy Baba Sali in
southern Israel.

 Reflecting on Lag B’omer, Unity and Protecting
our Kids
Our special trip this past Sunday reinforces Jewish unity and is a declaration
that regardless of where we live as Jews, we are one people.
It does not matter whether we live in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, New York
or Washington, DC, Ireland or Australia: we are all united with Israeli
communities such as Netivot that are living under rocket fire.

get to know her, you find out that with Aviva life is anything but
ordinary. After all, how many young girls have started an organization
and created a new genre of entertainment?
When Aviva was 6 years old she was diagnosed with Lupus, a chronic autoimmune
disease where the immune system attacks the body’s tissues.
