Our precious Israeli soldiers make up the best army in the world. They protect God's special place, and whether there is a war or things seem relatively quiet, our soldiers put their lives on the line every day. With even the finest weapons, each soldier needs help from Above to be safe and return safely home. Batsheva and Yaakov Goldman of Baltimore, MD, USA, have created The Shmira Project, an amazing effort via website to connect people around the world to actual names of Israeli soldiers. Those who sign up pledge to pray and study on behalf of their soldier, as well as to do acts of kindness and derech eretz in the merit of their soldier. Along with the Goldmans, Eric Gerstenfeld, Tsion Gonen and David Brenner have provided their considerable time and talent to support The Shmira Project, which during the recent Operation Pillar of Defense had thousands of hits and requests from 35 countries. Listen to this awesome effort and get involved- theshmiraproject.com
Guard one soldier in a meaningful and spiritual way. There is something you can do for the IDF no matter where you are.
