Below you will find an appeal from the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) requesting our community’s participation in an on-line campaign to free Gilad Schalit:
In June of 2006, Gilad Schalit was abducted by Hammas. Since then, Gilad has been held captive in the tunnels of Gaza. Despite best efforts by the Israeli government, Gilad remains out of sight and out of touch. The Schalit Family lives in Mitzpe Hila in the North, an area within the P2K Confrontation Line/Great Britain region. As a member of our international Partnership Family, we are asking you to take a stand and help increase public awareness for Gilad’s safe release.
The internet has become the voice of this generation. We (the Jewish Agency) would like to create an international “Free Gilad” on-line photographic campaign, one that engages our Jewish community worldwide. It is our intent to create a JAFI website where pictures of children, young adults, teens, volunteers, professional staff, families, and friends holding “Gilad is still alive” signs will be posted. These pictures will eventually be edited and used to their fullest capacity on the internet through social media tools such as Facebook and YouTube as well as including the images in presentations to various audiences.
Please help us launch this campaign by sending photographs, accompanied by a short description, to freegilad@jafi.org.
The success of this effort will only come through your willingness to champion the campaign. It is a simple ask, yet it is one of the most meaningful initiatives you can undertake.
Together, we can make a difference.
