From my colleague Kenneth Stern in New York:
BIRTHDAY CARDS FOR GILAD SHALIT
Gilad Shalit will turn 21 August 28th. This will be his second
birthday spent in captivity (unless there is a sudden change in
circumstances).
Gilad's plight and the despair and anguish of his family move me
deeply. I keep putting myself in their shoes, and I weep (my son is
less than 2 years older than Gilad). Last January, I spent one night
in the Shalits' "tzimmer and I have remained in touch with the family.
Recently I broached the idea of trying to send birthday cards to Gilad
to his father Noam, and Noam has approved of the idea.
So, now I ask all of you to enlist your friends and acquaintances in
trying to send greetings to Gilad for his upcoming birthday.
They may be sent to Gilad in care of:
Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General of the United Nations
United Nations
1st Avenue & 42nd Street
New York, NY 10017
Or
International Federation of the Red Cross
800 Second Avenue
New York NY 10017
Or
Gilad Shalit
Gaza Strip
via Israel
Many thanks for your efforts. U'ma'asei yadeinu ko'n'neihu...
