Building on the momentum of grassroots efforts already under way in communities across North America, “Israel Now” initiative programs begin in force during “Solidarity September,” when a continental media campaign will bring top Israeli leaders, Middle East experts and scholars, journal ists and opinion makers to broad cast studios, editorial board rooms and town hall meetings coast-to- coast to educate people about the current conflict and to support Jewish federations and local lead ers as they generate a clear message of unity in their commu nities. Also during “Solidarity September,” Journey to Solidarity I, the first major people-to-people mission to Israel under the solidar ity banner, will take place. The trip will be the flagship mission of an ongoing series, including regular ly scheduled missions, carrying the potent message of unity to Israelis and the world. A major public education effort will occur during the High Holy Days, when UJC and Jewish fed erations will distribute in syna gogues across the continent at least one million leaflets promot ing solidarity activities and pro grams, facts about the situation in Israel, and a solidarity petition. Rabbis will be encouraged to embrace the solidarity message in holiday sermons. “Solidarity September” continues on the 21st of the month, the beginning of a special Solidarity Shabbat and an inter-denominational effort to pro mote unity with Israel in syna gogues and churches coast-to- coast. On Sunday, September 23, the month of solidarity events will climax in New York City with a major Solidarity Rally, sponsored by UJC and North American Jewish federations. The rally will attract supporters of Israel from across the continent, and promi nent Israeli officials will be pre sent. “The rally will unite the ener gies of the entire North American Jewish community and send a strong, visible message of our sol idarity with Israel around the world,” said Joel Tauber, chairman of the UJC Executive Committee. In October, UJC and Jewish federations will launch extensive grassroots advocacy efforts on college campuses, synagogues, day schools, youth groups and Jewish community centers. The ^momentum of the initiative continues into November, at the UJC General Assembly (GA), November 9-14 in Washington, DC. There, more than 5,000 Jewish leaders from North America and around the world will join Prime Minister Sharon to affirm their support of Israel, and take part in specially designed sol idarity educational and advocacy programming. Immediately following the GA, Journey to Solidarity II - Capital to Capital, the second major soli darity mission of the fall, will depart with GA participants directly from Washington, bound for Jerusalem - in a dramatic show of support. Speaking at the opening session of the JAFI 2001 Assembly, attended on Saturday night by the UJC and North American federa tion delegation, and during a pri vate meeting with them after wards, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon endorsed and underscored the importance of the Israel NOW program: “Now is the time for Jewish people to unite together 'with Israel and for Israel,” Sharon said. “Now is the time for global Jewish solidarity. Now is the time for a major campaign in which every Jew will actively share and partner with Israel. It is the time to show the world - our friends and our enemies, ourselves and our chil dren - that we are one. I am sure that if we are united, we can all realize all our hopes and dreams for the land of Israel.” 4*
