Racheli Platt Raises Funds for the Red Bag Of Courage Mitzvah Project

"I chose this project because I know how important the Red Cross is in America and my rabbi, Michael Resnick of Temple Emanu-el of Palm Beach, told me about Magen David Adom, the "Red Cross" in Israel. I like to help people and thought it would be a great idea if I could raise money for MDA. I have also figured out in life you must give back not only take in. At my bat mitzvah, I recognized this organization and told everyone about it. My family and friends donated to the cause and as a result I received $3,000 and donated it to AFMDA. I hope they use this money well and save many many more lives."

Cookbook to Benefit AFMDA

Elisa Epstein has created two cookbooks to benefit AFMDA, one for young professionals and another which is a compilation of Jewish grandmothers' recipes from around the world. Each cookbook is $18 plus $3 shipping and handling. To order, mail a check payable to AFMDA to 3470 Windmill Ranch Rd., Weston, Fl. 33331.
