BUY ISRAEL NOW:
A CARAVAN OF ISRAELI MERCHANTS

will arrive in St. Louis ONE DAY ONLY from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM at the JCC, Millstone Campus.

By the end of 2001, losses to Israel tourism were at $1 billion. Now another year has passed and Israeli business owners have seen their livelihoods decimated by the continuing violence and terrorism. This is our opportunity to do a MITZVAH: SHOP ISRAEL!! A variety of Israeli merchandise will be available for purchase. Come early, stay for lunch or dinner, and buy quality products made in Israel Watch for additional information in the next few weeks. No need for your passport on this trip! Just drive over to the J and do your part to help Israel's economy!

Call Margaret Israel (314-997-0431) or Kim Anderson (314-991-5097) if you are able to help at this event. Donations are needed to cover set-up expenses (security, janitorial, table/chair rentals, printing, advertising) as well as volunteers to help the merchants. Thanks in advance!
