Upon returning home last week, Cohen sent a letter to the JCF's Israel and overseas committee detailing her experiences. Already, one family has donated a TV and VCR for the second shelter. Earlier this week, several dozen members of the JCF's Young Adults Division visited Kiryat Shmona. The visit coincidentally was scheduled as part of their annual mission to Israel. The YAD group met with Kiryat Shmona's mayor and lit yahrzeit candles with him in memory of the two casualties.
People feel they are being neglected by their own country.
The YAD group also met with young Israeli leaders. The two groups volunteered to spend an hour in a bomb shelter discussing life in Kiryat Shmona and how the two cities could build connections. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any form without permission.
