Hi Gesher 2000,

Just making sure you saw my note about the launch of the campaign for Beit Michael. In just two days we've already raised almost $2,500 to give lone soldiers a home away from home, in memory of Michael Levin. Help us keep up the momentum. Click here to donate: http://beitmichael.mydagsite.com

For those of you who have already donated, Moshe, the members of Beit Michael and I are so appreciative, as the money is already being put to good use to install much-needed air conditioning units in the house. Every contribution counts and will support the thousands of lone soldiers serving Israel during such a difficult time.

Shabbat Shalom,
Lonni

P.S. The campaign has done so well in the first couple days that our crowdfunding platform even featured us in their newsletter yesterday! Help us keep going. Thank you for showing your support. Every bit helps.

Dear Gesher 2000,

I hope this note finds you all doing well and enjoying your summer. I am writing to let you know about a project I am working on in memory of Mike Levin (z"l) with my friend, Moshe Houminer, whom you may remember from Ramah Poconos and Ramah Seminar. Click here to learn more about the project.

As many of you know, eight years ago today, Mike was laid to rest on Har Herzl in Israel. His heroism and commitment to Israel have served as an example to countless people, motivating many to immigrate to Israel as lone soldiers and serve in the IDF. Moshe, having known Mike personally, was among the many who were inspired by Mike's heroism. He decided to create a home for lone soldiers on his kibbutz in northern Israel - Kibbutz Merav.

Beit Michael provides soldiers with a communal house with all of the comforts of home. Living in the house gives soldiers the opportunity to spend time with others facing similar challenges, and all are welcome to stay for as long as they wish. Soldiers are also included as members of the Kibbutz Merav community. They are assigned "adopted" families, who welcome them into their homes, visit them on their army bases, and treat them as their own.

With more than 5,000 lone soldiers serving in the IDF, Israel needs our support now more than ever. We are raising money to not only keep Beit Michael running, but to expand it to accommodate more than the 12 soldiers it currently houses.

We have a secure account that you can donate to - any amount you wish. At this time we are not able to arrange a tax exempt receipt. Here is the link that gives more information about our important work. Hopefully it will answer your questions.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you have ideas about how to spread the word. We would truly appreciate your support. Please also feel free to forward this to anyone else who might be interested, or share on Facebook. I have copied Moshe on this email as well in case you'd like to reach out to him directly. Please know that he is currently serving in miluim and is not always able to respond immediately.

Thank you in advance. May Mike's memory continue to be a blessing.

Love always,

Lonni Romirowsky

Donation in. My thoughts and prayers are with Israel now.  Thanks for communicating a positive way to redirect my growing frustration and sadness on the situation.
