We interrupt this Shabbat blogging break to remind you that Blogathon 2003 is now underway. There are many bloggers out there furiously typing today to raise funds for all sorts of worthy causes.
Meryl Yourish, Laurence Simon and Michele Catalano have joined forces to try to raise enough money to buy a new ambulance for Magen David Adom (Red 'Star' of David), Israel's equivalent of the Red Cross. Please visit their websites today and make a pledge. Or you can link directly to their pledge pages from here:
And please remember that the Red Star of David is the only national emergency medical service not recognized by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. While the American Red Cross continues to push for such recognition, Magen David Adom remains on its own for now. Your pledge can make a difference.
