Fleece for Meir

As long as we're schnorring money, (I don't want to compete with Naomi) but an old friend, Leon Blankrot-we went to Neveh together found me on Facebook. He has an organization, Yashar Lachayal, that provides stuff for the the IDF that the IDF doesn't provide. Long story short, he's raising money for fleece jackets. I asked Meir about it & he said that he does need a fleece jacket & they told him to call this guy, Leon. But he can't get one until his whole unit gets one, 120 people. So it turns out that this organization is legit.

We can't just send him a fleece jacket, it all has to be regulation, but it is not something they give to the soldiers.

So here's a link to get more info & to donate. All the administrative costs are paid for by the Moskowitz family so all contributions go straight to the soldiers.

  1. What division or unit is Meir in? Could we earmark our donation toward his unit?

  3. He is in plugat Nachshon. I don't see where you can earmark where it goes, but Leon told me he was working on Fleece's for that Unit.
