Bring Gilad Home Now This coming Shabbat, March 21, 2009, Gilad Shalit will mark his 1,000th day in captivity by HAMAS. As Gilad’s parents, friends, and family are holding a vigil outside the Prime Minister’s office, solidarity events and other events are also being held in cities across the national and the globe. Join the efforts on behalf of Gilad. Here's what you can do: RABBIS: Organize a vigil and read prayers for Gilad this coming shabbat and every shabbat until he is returned home. LEADERS: Encourage local, organizations and congregations to come together for a community vigil for Gilad. Visit the AZM website for ideas and materials. EVERYONE Join the more than 3,000 people attending the Facebook "Virtual Rally" for Gilad entitled: Free Gilad Shalit VIRTUAL RALLY; 1,000 Days of Captivity. Invite your friends and colleagues to join. Read the article: An Open Letter to Jews in the Diaspora, which appeared in the Jerusalem Post to understand why this is relevant to you. A photo which appeared in the Los Angeles Times recently showed a tent on a sidewalk in Jerusalem reminding passers-by of the number of days Gilad Shalit has been held.
