Review of Courage & Hope: Inspirational Writings by Youth in Gush Etzion
by Naomi Ragen
 
Friends,
 
Have you ever wondered how the children in Judea and Samaria are faring
after two years of being shot at and frightened, and having friends and
classmates and neighbors hurt, injured and worse?
 
Have you ever wondered if there was a way to reach out to these
children, or to have your own children or children in classrooms all over
the world contact them with words of encouragement?
 
 
There is a little book called Courage and Hope, that is a collection of
the writings of the children of Gush Etzion, in which children of all ages
describe in their own words how they feel about themselves and their country
and their future. It`s really inspiring.
 
The book also includes biographies of the children.  Editor Karen Guth
will transfer all e-mail messages to those who wish to contact individual
children after reading what they have to say.
 
 
I think  schools all over the world should be ordering this inspiring
book for students.  I think Jewish day schools and Hebrew schools and Bar
and Bat Mitzvah programs should be giving them out.  The profits from this
project are going to be used for the security and education of the children of Gush Etzion.
 
It`s an amazing little book.
