Lynne posted in the comments of the previous post, and also in an email -- but I wanted to post it here as well, an idea for bringing hostess gifts of tzedakah to our Shabbat dinner:

as you know, sderot is truly a city under siege. its 24,000 residents are under constant DAILY bombardment...from THOUSANDS of rocket attacks. we can help by ordering hostess gift boxes of cookies from the sderot bakery. they cost 20 shekels each --about $5---and they will be delivered to our hotel before shabbos on february 15. then we will have great gifts to bring to our host families and we will be helping a sderot business as well.
Here's a link to the organization setting this up (is this what you found, Lynne?)
Here's a link to another post describing this mitzvah project.
It sounds like everyone wants to do this one, so let's see how far in advance we have to order (I bet we can wait til our February 4th meeting)...

yes, yes, YES!! thanks for the excellent links, phyllis. i actually found this project through Janglo, which is an English-language e-bulletin board from Jerusalem. (only in israel can many of us be "anglo-saxim.")
well, ladies, only 34 days and 13 hours to go..............
34 days and nine hours to go.
ladies, do you still have your white "We're in Solidarity with Israel, Am Shalom-Glencoe, IL" caps from last year's walk with israel/solidarity day? phyllis, are there any extra at the 900 building? how cute would we be in those? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? (again, i think i'm going to email this idea as well as posting it.)
fear not, lynne, i believe there will be new "israel at 60" am shalom hats....just in time for us to take...we'll look appropriately goofy...er....cute in them.
