The Hebron Fund, a not-for-profit charitable organization, actively provides
humanitarian aid to needy Hebron families, supports the maintenance of the city’s many
holy sites, including the Cave of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs, holds educational
programs for children and youth, assists with tourism and public relations, and supports
the well-being of Hebron’s many soldiers.

“The Hebron Fund is the Hebron Jewish community’s official sponsor,” notes
the Executive Director, Rabbi Dan Rosenstein. “With the recent incessant increase in
terror attacks surrounding Hebron, we are really relying on our past and new friends to
join in this campaign. The funds will go directly towards protecting and saving lives in
Hebron.”

Hebron, considered the second most important site in Judaism, is home to the
Tomb of Patriarchs and Matriarchs, also known as the Machpela Cave, where a half a
million visitors and pilgrims arrive annually. While the city has 3,800 years of Jewish
history, the growth of the modern Jewish community, which numbers nearly 90 families,
has been stymied by the Hebron accords, two Intifadas and government red-tape. The
city’s 180,000 Arabs are mostly affiliated with Hamas and many of the recent attacks
have originated in Hebron.

“It is of paramount importance that world Jewry and the global friends of
Israel make it clear with words and actions that Hebron will always remain in Israel’s
control. Hebron is the genome of Jewish peoplehood and the gateway to the Bible – but
efforts of the Jihad and international agents to erase Jewish history here endanger the
very legitimacy of the State of Israel” said International Spokesman Yishai
Fleisher.

Recently, residents of the area, Rabbi Yaakov Litman and his son Netanel were
murdered by a Palestinian terrorist as they drove to a family pre-wedding celebration
near Hebron. On the other hand, Hebron is home to mass gatherings and pilgrimages
including the Sukkot, Passover, and Shabbat Chayei Sarah – the Sabbath when the Torah
portion describing Abraham’s purchase of the Machpela Cave is read – draws tens of
thousands to the holy city.

Maintaining the safety, success and accessibility of this Biblical city is
crucial. “Your donation today has never meant more to Hebron,” notes Rosenstein. “With
your help we can purchase bulletproof vests for our dedicated security personnel, allows
us to setup CCTV camera systems at schools, keep renovating the holy sites, and even
provide the needed therapeutic trauma relief counseling and activities to Hebron’s
children.”

The realization that a $100 donation instantly grows into a $400 gift or an
$1,800 becomes $7,200 is a tantalizing to people who want to support Jewish Hebron. The
campaign runs from Wednesday, December 2 at 2:00 pm EST – Thursday, December 3rd at 2:00
pm EST.

“Given the situation we face, the success of this campaign really has historic
significance,” said Rosenstein. “The welfare of its Hebron’s residents and sites should
be a top priority for anyone who appreciates keeping this Biblical city safe and
available for all.”
