CAS IAP Bulletin

Dear CAS!

The kiddush table conversation last shabbat, focusing on Israel advocacy, was informative and activity encouraging! Not only were there those who will join CAS in Washington for the AIPAC annual Conference, but there was discussion surrounding other projects.
Veronica Reich happily explained AIPAC Conference details, and Eve Nachman contributed the hope that The David Project, for high school and college students, could expand awareness of their efforts within CAS.
Others dropped by, adding their ideas and enthusiasm.
At this point, the CAS IAP needs specific help with a number of the proposed projects.
Please contact me or Rabbi Cohen to offer some assistance. Israel needs us! And our projects are easy to help with!
Below is a list of those that can be achieved this year. Please consider helping with any that interest you! CAS has always cared deeply about Israel. Let's put your love of Israel into action.

PROJECTS:
The first formal CAS IAP meeting, held a few months ago, produced agreement on excellent projects for the coming year. (Thank you to the patient group!)
The following ideas emerged:
1. Five minute set asides at CAS meetings for cell phone calls to Congress (for current action requests.)
2. Youth group essay contest "Why Israel is Important to Me."
3. Rotating home showings of the powerful film "Iranium."
4. Guest speaker from CUFI (Christians United for Israel) a powerful and passionate Israel lobbying group on Capitol hill and around the U.S.
5. Weekly "Action Alerts" in the CAS Bulletin.
6. AIPAC and others speakers

There are many ways each one of us can help! This is a multi-prong effort! ISRAEL needs all the support it can obtain, and CAS cares!
