On Shabbat, October 25th, hordes of settlers carried out a pogrom in Mukhmas, and we must raise NIS 264,000 ($81,000, €70,000, £68,000) to replace torched homes, stolen sheep, and more.
The incredibly brave, determined, and resourceful residents are remaining put when many would have fled a long time ago. We must not and will not let them down.
Torat Tzedek is also appealing to international aid organizations and other potential donors, but we must start immediately and will be fronting funds we need to maintain our organization.
This cannot wait.
Should we meet our goal, or have unused funds because of money arriving from additional sources, we will use those funds for similar needs in additional communities and/or ongoing needs such as assistance with fodder.
PLEASE DONATE HERE TO TAKE A STAND TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY OF MUKHMAS AND ADDITIONAL SHEPHERDING COMMUNITIES FIGHTING TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES OR RETURN. YOUR CONTRIBUTION FROM THE U.S. OR U.K. WILL BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
----------------------
There will be a handling fee deducted from your contribution, but you can also make a dedicated tax-free contribution in the U.S. or in the U.K. without a handling fee unless you choose to add one. However, you must write to us at torat.tzedek@gmail.com so that we will know that your contribution is intended for Mukhmas.
In order to adequately protect remaining shepherding communities and potentially help uprooted communities return home,

For Russian speakers, there was a great deal of coverage in the Israeli-Russian media because two injured Torat Tzedek volunteer human rights defenders were Russian speakers, and there will be an item in the Russian-language section of the BBC. For Articles on the pogrom here and here
