| HOST ISRAELI VIPs FRIDAY AUGUST 15 THROUGH SUNDAY AUGUST 17 Here is your chance -- and for some of you, your second and third chance -- to show Israel some love this summer by hosting some very special 12- and 13-year-old Israeli youngsters who will be visiting Stamford this August for what we expect will be a golden Shabbat. A delegation of 36 children, each of whom has lost a parent in military, police or firefighting units in Israel, will be spending the summer in the United States under the auspices of the Widows and Orphans of the IDF. This hard-working Israeli charity cares for 5,000 families who have each paid the ultimate price to maintain the State of Israel and keep it safe. Each year, this charity organizes a trip to the U.S. that features some much-needed recreational time at a Jewish camp in Wisconsin for the children in these families who are coming of age. The children then trek the long way back to Israel, visiting host communities and seeing sights along the way. Each year's trip is capped off by a communal bar and bat mitzvah in the fall attended by many dignitaries in the Old City. It is a bittersweet event meant to remind these children that neither they nor their loved ones will be forgotten. This summer, for the first time, the sponsoring organization has made Stamford the culmination of the children's U.S. trip in large part because of the extraordinary hospitality and outpouring of love our community has shown two prior delegations. Can we count on you again to help this year's young travelers have a Shabbat to remember? These 19 girls and 17 boys and their dozen chaperones, led by the incomparable Shlomi Nahumson, will need housing in our community from Friday afternoon August 15 through Sunday morning August 17, when they will leave for Israel. Details, including precise arrival and departure times, will be shared as they become available. Though the children's time with us is limited, we know you will make the most of every minute they are in our midst, and you can count on a backyarddessert and swim party at the Bodurtha home after Shabbat on Saturday for all host families and their charges to make things easier. Eddie at Main Event has, once again, generously promised to cater the party and will, no doubt, outdo himself. Families who stepped up in 2012 and 2013 really had a remarkable experience. Because these VIP's are first-time travelers, the charity asks volunteering families to accept groups of 4 or more and to be flexible about last-minute changes made for the comfort of the children. (Judith Jelen has forever earned her place in heaven, as far as we're concerned, simply on the strength of the enormous poise she displayed two years ago in the face of such late "tweaks" to the roster, announced just prior to Shabbat and Tisha B'Av.) We would also be especially grateful to hear from volunteers who speak Arabic, since two of the girls in this year's delegation are Druze and one boy is Bedouin. They can get by in Hebrew, but would obviously feel far more at home among us if they were able to converse in a language more comfortable to them. If you can raise your hand, please reach out ASAP to Liam Bodurtha's mom Alison at cowan@nytimes.com or 212 556 1501 or Jackie atjackiework@optonline.net and 203 564 6232 Hope to hear from you! A special thank you to three returning host families from Stamford and Westport who did not even wait for the annual SOS to respond, but have already informed us that they wish to host again. |
