Fwd: AFSI Nov 9, Congratulations to Donald Trump and Mike Pence! Stand with Israel: Reject UNESCO Resolutions Attend Today's Rally Nov. 10! RCRF Dinner on Sunday

bs"d

Reminder!  Today November 10th Protest  12:30pm by Israel Consulate!!!! Reject UNESCO Resolutions!  See flyer below and listen to link of Israel Hayom interview with Yifa Segal of Israel Legal Forum speaking about how the Legal Forum shut down an "Israeli" NGO which laundered money for terrorists in GAZA from European contributors in the tune of 9.5 million dollars. She also described how retarded resolutions are passed in the UN.  There are enough Arab sympathetic countries who happen to make up a majority of the vote who can basically vote for any Resolution no matter how ridiculous it is. If they want, they can pass a resolution that the sky is purple. Join Protest Rally tomorrow in front of the Israeli Consulate on 2nd Ave between 42nd and 43rd St.. Please note all the sponsors on the flyer!

RCRF Alert!  ASAP Rachels Children Reclamation Foundation! Send in your letters of support to Evelyn Haze.  Tomorrow she is going to the publisher. Please, if you can,  attend the RCRF Dinner on Sunday Night in Manhattan Beach Jewish Center (see event notice below)! 11 Cheshvan Yahrzeit Rachel Imeinu!. I sent you an invitation by email last week on Nov. 2nd. For your convenience I am adding it on to the bottom of this newsletter.  Because of the distraction of the elections I was remiss in sending out reminders. It is still not too late. Last year Evelyn sent out a post dinner journal by email with all of our warm wishes and this year she can do so as well.  She also published an updated journal following the event and send it to many of the attendees.  If you can not attend,  please help sponsor someone else that can attend All contributions and all letters of support are most welcome. She has an amazing lineup of speakers and a great spread. She also does amazing things at Kever Rochel and deserves our support, moral and financial!

Stand with Israel: Reject UNESCO Resolutions - Attend Rally Nov. 10! AFSI Calendar of Events Congratulations, President-Elect Donald Trump and Vice President-Elect, Mike Pence! Hail to the New Commander-in-Chief! Americans For A Safe Israel congratulates President-Elect Donald Trump, Vice President-Elect Mike Pence, and their campaign team after their run for the presidency ended in victory yesterday. Israel has always considered the US to be its "best friend", and the US (at least Congress and the public) has always had a special affection for Israel. However, the relationship between the countries' leaders during the past eight years has been strained. We thus look forward to a resetting and continuation of a close and mutually-rewarding relationship between Israel and the United States.   While the widely-held perception of this relationship has erroneously been seen by some as "giver" (US) and "taker" (Israel), the truth is starkly different. Israel, as the only true democracy in the Middle East, surrounded by dictatorships and violent theocracies, has always supported the US. Be it as a secure and reliable "island in a sea of sharks" in the Middle East, or by supporting the US in international institutions such as the UN, Israel has always been at the side of the United States. As for the aid the US provides to Israel, Israel has repaid it in multiples. By being a testing field for new weaponry resulting in state-of-the-art enhancements, or be it the development of new technology shared with the US, or of unparalleled sharing of intelligence not available anywhere else, Israel has saved the US hundreds of billions of dollars along with an innumerable number of lives. We look forward to President-Elect Trump and his team implementing their platform positions both foreign policy-wise and domestically, to: - Restore America as leader of the free world - Grow the close relationship between the US and Israel - Scrap or re-work the Iran nuclear deal to eliminate existential threats from that rogue, terror-sponsoring and terror-enabling nation - Rebuild our military - Increase border security - Rebuild our crumbling infrastructure - Reduce the nation's deficit - Lower taxes to stimulate the economy, thus creating new jobs and lowering unemployment  - Make the US energy-independent - Heal the social rifts and worsening race relations within the US, exacerbated greatly during Obama's eight year rule All of this is a tall order, but Donald Trump was elected and given a mandate to steer the US in a new direction. We appreciate his leadership, energy, drive and desire to do so, and stand with him as we wish him all the success as he takes over the reins of this great nation.  Back to Top Stand with Israel: Reject UNESCO Resolutions Attend Rally Nov. 10! UNESCO's resolution denying Israel's connection to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall is an abomination and must be fought. Our good friend and Director of the International Legal Forum based in Israel gives a fine explanation of the context of UNESCO's decisions and why they cannot be ignored. The interview from minute 4:35 on deals with the UNESCO situation. The entire interview, of course is worthy viewing. Yifa Segal interview  AFSI is a co-sponsor of this Thursday's rally in support of Judaism's connection to our holiest sites. Please plan to be there!

bs"d Here is the formal invitation for the annual Rachel's Children Reclamation Foundation Dinner.  Once again Evelyn has an amazing lineup of speakers and presenters.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B86sGl9yfinjdTdxVkpYYnVtZVU3Ukh6X0pwMk9hdHUtT2hF/view?usp=sharing Let us show our Solidarity with the wonderful work of Evelyn Haze and the Rachel's Children Reclamation Foundation at Kever Rochel! There are special rates for AFSI members.  Please email me if you are interested! Please send in your journal ads! Evelyn would love to publish any kind words you have to say about RCRF or about any of the honorees. Send it to rachelschildren@gmail.com As usual, Evelyn has lined up an action filled evening! Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi, the keynote speaker will provoke serious thought as his speeches are always stimulating and thought provoking. Whether or not you want to hear his message albeit often fascinating and controversial , one can not argue that he has the best interest of the Jewish people in mind. Involved in Kiruv and Musar he wakes us up from our lethargy.  That wakeup call is not always an easy one to digest.  Dr. Paul and wife Drora Brody, this year's Master of Ceremonies and last year's honorees at the RCRF Dinner, have accumulated a storehouse of pro Israel activism diamonds over the years.  Their involvement with the Israel Day Concert, and bringing influential politicians and Media personnel to Israel to speak out for Judea and Samaria has made them one of our untold heroes of our day along with their team Dr. Joseph Frager,  Odeleya Jacobs and Rabbi Algaze! David Haies, Evelyn's son, is an apple that has not fallen far from the tree, who  has served honorably in the IDF and whose love for Israel is a natural outcome of his upbringing.  He experienced first hand what it felt like to be a lone soldier.  He is a valuable mentor for anyone who wishes to leave the comfort of the USA to serve in the IDF.  Alexander Gelman PHD will be speaking about Jewish DNA and ancestry. I personally am excited to hear what he has to say!  (Will his research help Moshiach discern from which Tribe each of us belong?!! Yovel would be really an interesting experience!  Rochel Imeinu is crying for her children, the 10 Lost Tribes who have been lost and separated from the rest of the Tribes.  Will his work in uncovering our ancestry help fulfill the age old prophesy of returning Rachel's Children to their borders? These are some of the relevant questions I would like to ask him...) Henni Machlis ob"m and her husband Rabbi Mordechai Machlis was a legend in her time. From the very beginning of their marriage they opened their homes to anyone that needed a place for Shabbos.  How many lost souls did they bring back?  Their open house of wall to wall tables and chairs was on a shoe string budget, yet it didn't stop this family from accommodating all that needed a warm and nurturing environment to enjoy Shabbos.  May she be a Meilitz Yosher and may her Neshoma have an Aliya from all the continued acts of kindness of her family members who are carrying on in her footsteps. The award will be accepted by her niece Esti Dershowitz.  The Rachel Imeinu Young Leadership Awardee  is Tanya Sarah Sheivester  She leads many youth missions. She  will be introduced by Tiferet Levi- last year's recipient.  Tiferet was an amazing honoree last year and I am sure Tanya is as well.... Robert Sidi who will be accepting the Memorial award for our dear friend Charlotte Wahle obm who passed away on Rachel Imeinu's Yahrzeit.  Robert is known for his dedication in promoting Israel events. Events that promote Judea and Samaria, such as this one,  are the ones most close to his heart.  He has accomplished this feat via his Israel Advocacy Calendar which personally I have included in the postscript of my emails since it is such a helpful calendar for any Advocate for Israel. Charlotte is sorely missed in the AFSI circle of friends.  Small in stature but a giant in her love and advocacy for Israel Shloimy Bluth and Cantor David Presler will provide  musical entertainment with a song whose lyrics were written by Evelyn Haze, author and poet. For that alone, it will be worthwhile to come. RCRF has created a living presence in Kever Rochel. There are weekly Torah classes and guest lecturers and educational programs with actualization in progress of dreams for a museum and Simcha Hall.  Anyone who has attended past RCRF dinners know that there is always a delicious and filling  fleishik spread not to mention a wonderful cake in the shape of Kever Rochel contributed by Pressers Bakery.  So don't be a stranger!  We want you to come and enjoy and share an event to honor Israel, proud of our Heritage, that is all substance and no fluff.  Again, if you know any of the honorees or presenters of honorees and wish to honor them in the journal please send in your journal ad asap! If you want to attend and would like to take advantage of AFSI Member's special rates please get in touch with me or with Evelyn. (faigerayzel@gmail.com rachelschildren@gmail.com). If you are unable to attend but wish to send in a contribution it will be most welcome and you can help sponsor someone else to come in your place). Hoping to hear from you soon!
