Dear Friends and Family,

Our settlement, Givat Asaf, is located at a strategic intersection along Highway 60 – the main thoroughfare that connects the settlements of Eastern Binyamin and the Shomron, with Jerusalem. Our physical presence here is what prevents an Arab overtaking of this junction – something that, G-d forbid, could endanger any Jewish travellers on this vital route.

After what happened on Simchat Torah, we have all come to recognize how critical it is for the settlements to be prepared for the worst. Well-trained Emergency Security teams, and quality materiel, are of the utmost importance at the moment of truth.

In Givat Asaf, we are working around the clock at improving the defenses of the yishuv. Nevertheless, there remains much to be done, and some of the things we have been advised to install are very costly.

We are not talking about frills or excesses; we are talking about devices that will enable thorough, reliable, and constant surveillance of the entire vulnerable perimeter of the yishuv. In particular security experts have strongly advised us to acquire and install Thermal Imaging Security Cameras, all across and around Givat Asaf. But the estimated cost of such an expenditure is approximately $60,000 (sixty thousand US dollars).

In an effort to make this – along with other security measures – possible, we have launched a campaign to raise some three-hundred and fifty thousand NIS.

In order to reach our goal, any help from you would be greatly appreciated. Even a small donation can help. Be partners with us in our determination to insure that what happened on Simchat Torah will happen never again !

Thank you for your attention,

Givat Asaf
