Support Israel and Send a Birthday Wish

The European Center for Jewish Students invites you to participate in a virtual birthday card project for Israel, aimed at attracting 60,000 young Jews from all over the world to send Israel a birthday wish, as a sign of solidarity for the country’s 60th anniversary year.

The virtual birthday card is the website itself, and those who sign the card will choose a message in their native language and support Israel through an $18 gift to an area of their choice - from helping new immigrants, to supporting Israeli youth at risk, to assisting Sderot residents. The site also features a section with trivia about Israel. The project will last throughout Israel’s 60th year (through April 2009) and a physical card, with all the names and messages, will be displayed in Jerusalem.

Please sign the card at www.happybirthdayisrael.org and help spread the word to all of your friends.
