In Jewish tradition, it’s a “mitzvah” (commandment/good deed) that when someone you know goes to Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel), you give him money to dispense to charities there. The first time I went to Israel in 1985, various relatives gave me cash to give away while there. I’ll be in Israel once again on in mid-May, and I thought it would be cool to give VC readers who are so inclined to participate in this mitzvah. So if you are so inclined, you can send a dollar to my PayPal account, deliotb [at sign] aol [dot]com, and I’ll dispense it during my trip to a nonsectarian charity, most likely the Magen David Adom (Israeli version of the Red Cross).
