Yom Kppur -

Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year, begins Friday night at sundown. For the next 25 hours, Jews will fast and pray, pleading with God to be sealed in the Book of Life. We pray for a year of peace, safety, good health and prosperity.

 NEWS UPDATE: Jerusalem is on high security alert as the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade has declared war by giving the "green light" to terrorist attacks against Israelis, particularly in Jerusalem, on Yom Kippur.

 Memories of the Yom Kippur War, 40 years ago, are still fresh in our minds. We remember the heavy casualties but also the great miracles of survival and ultimate success. And it was just 40 years before that, in 1933, when Hitler rose to power. Memories of the unthinkable, horrific atrocities of the Holocaust will never escape us. And then the great miracle of 1948 - an independent Jewish state re-established in the Land of Israel after 2000 years of exile!

 Our sages teach us that even one act of kindness can tip the scales. Charity, we are taught, 'saves us from death'. And it can save the entire world! Our fate as individuals and humanity as a whole, is on the line. Let's pray that we will all be sealed in the Book of Life!

 It is for this reason, on the very last day before our fate is sealed, that we appeal to you for perhaps one more act of kindness.

 United with Israel has been there to help the People of Israel in so many ways. Many of you have helped us to:
 - Send pro-Israel messages and action items to millions of people every day
 - Build 10 Portable Bomb Shelters for Israeli communities under fire
 - Plant over 3000 Fruit Trees throughout the Land of Israel
 - Provide thousands of IDF soldiers with warm winter gear
 - Send toys, gifts and personal notes to victims of terror and their families

 Your donation can help us to do much more. And perhaps this extra act of kindness, right before Yom Kippur, will make all the difference in the world. It can tip the scales and seal our fate for a year full of blessing! Amen.
