Join the Call for a Cease Fire in Gaza

The following letter from Rabbi Michael Lerner was sent to a friend calling for a cease fire in Gaza and for President-elect Obama to call for an international conference to establish a lasting peace with the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Dear Friends,
Will you help us buy a full page ad in the NY Times calling for a cease fire and for president-elect Obama to call for an international conference to once and for all provide a settlement to the Israel/Palestine conflict and to create peace with all Israel’s neighbors?
Even if you don’t have any money, you can sign the ad. But it will only become an ad if we can raise about $60,000, and that will take us little people stretching our pocket books far beyond our normal capacities. Could you donate $1,000? $500? $300? $100? $50? $25? Whatever you can afford would be important and helpful.
You can read the text of the ad here and see what it would look like as a full page ad here. You can sign up and donate here (all these links can also be reached by clicking on the left side of the page at www.tikkun.org). Or to donate you can send a check to Tikkun or your credit card info (including expiration date and security code) to Peace Ad, c/o Tikkun, 2342 Shattuck Ave, Suite 1200, Berkeley, Ca. 94704. Or you can call in your credit card info to Kay@tikkun.org: 510 644 1200 9-5 Pacific Standard Time.
Timing is everything-we need to move as quickly as possible. Send this request to everyone on all of your email lists, PLEASE. Remind them that even if they don’t have a penny to their names, they can still sign the ad at www.tikkun.org.
Many thanks for your continued support. Together we are already making a difference!
Love and blessings,
Michael
