http://www.mrbrklyn.com/amsterdam.html#Rijks
I will be making a trip soon to see the family in G'vat Shmuel and to be
in Tzfat. The war is still raging, so I expect to run into a country
that is raw and with many open emotion wounds, and a lot of poverty.
I will be stopping on my way in to Amsterdam. I find a direct flight
more than I can handle so I stop in Europe and that usually means
Amsterdam. NOt for the Borthels and the drugs, but for the Jewish
history and the Art.
The Dutch Museums and heritage is quite astonishing, and its Jewish
footprint is enormous.

Have a look at previous trips.
I tend to give Tzadakah when I get to Tzfat. It is in the north and
was on the front line with Hezbullah. The economy, which is barely held
up by foreign tourism and art prodcution, has been battered. I expect
demands to be more than the usual. On Simchas Torah/Shemini Eztzerts,
we have a community Kiddush and we've provided for a succah. A decent
chunk of the inheritence has been invested in this: See

This is my spiritual center when in Tzfat... the Kosov Synagaguge in the
old city

I have so much raw material from these trips they are hard to keep up
with.

If anyone wants to donate funds for the recovery and to feed the people
in Tzfat in memory of my Mother, Sherry Iris Israeloff email Rabbi Moshe

If you want to put money in my hands to give in Tzfat, contact me. I've
put my hard earned cash into these peoples hands, as cases are needed,
and help to build resources. A simple thing like replacing the community
refigerator has been very helpful to folks, or hiring help to build a
succah for people that are ill from cancer, or helping a women who is a
difficult marriage scrap by for Shabbat meals...
I don't list these things to show that I am in any way remarkeble, I am
certainly not, but just to encourage people to give, if posible, direct
charity, hand to hand in Tzfat and much of the rest of Israel.
We have come out of the Covid crisis and the world seems quite crazy.
It is, and nowhere more so than in Israel. We are suffering with
inflation and an uncertain economic, not to mention political, future.
We should try to stick together, like an extended family.
