SORROW AND HOPE

The Jewish Agency for Israel and the greater Phoenix Jewish community extend their condolences to the families of Ehud "Udi" Goldwassser and Eldad Regev, two Israeli soldiers killed by Hezbollah whose remains were recently returned home. (news coverage about this).

The Jewish Agency for Israel is proud to offer the opportunity for Jewish communities around the world to send their condolences to the bereaved Goldwasser and Regev families. The emails will be forwarded to the families next week, during the course of the Shiva. Visit our homepage,
www.jewishagency.org, and click on the link to send a condolence letter.

The Jewish Agency has also dedicated a special micro site in memory of the soldiers,
www.abducted.org.il

Finally, please do your part to bring Gilad Shalit home from captivity to his family without delay, as well as Israel's
other missing soldiers, Zachary Baumel, Tzvi Feldman, Yehudah Katz, Ron Arad and Guy Hever. Purchase a set of dog tags bearing the names of Israel's missing heros from our partner website. All proceeds from the sale of the dog tags will go directly to the families of the kidnapped soldiers.
