The struggle for Jewish sovereignty over Eretz Yisrael is at its height. While the Olmert government, backed by Oslo architect President Peres are pushing to “get rid” of our Biblical homeland and hand it over to the Arab enemy – thousands and thousands of Jews are packing backpacks, sleeping bags, tents and lots of Jewish determination to keep the Land of Israel in Jewish hands.
Starting today and continuing the next days, weeks and months, we will witness the struggle for the return to Chomesh and the struggle to settle different hills in Judea and Samaria, starting with the hill of Eitam in Efrat, Gush Etzion. The more people participate, the more chance we have to succeed. For all those who cannot be there physically – you can help too:
a) Financially – by sending us donations to keep up the struggle. It is no secret that without funds, we cannot function. Leftists organizations are being funded by the European Union and other anti-Jewish organizations who give groups like “Suicide Now” (better known as “Peace Now”) millions of dollars. We need the help of Israel lovers. To donate to the cause of Eretz Israel:

b) Morally – by bombarding politicians and public figures in Israel and abroad with faxes and phone calls of support for the Eretz Yisrael Campaign.
Women in Green calls upon all to join in the struggle for ERETZ YISRAEL!
Ruth and Nadia Matar
1) TUESDAY JULY 17th, 2007- CHOMESH
The Chomesh action Committee has surprised the army by declaring that they are postponing the aliya to Chomesh from today to the next few days. “We will not play into their hands” say the Chomesh people. “They [the authorities] have the power…we have the time…we will go up when WE decide. We will for sure go up to Chomesh by Tisha b”Av.
To receive details about Chomesh one can call (from Israel) the number 050-8007575 and get the latest updates.
2) WEDNESDAY JULY 18th- SUPPORT THE GUSH KATIF FARMERS
The Gush Katif farmers have set up a tent in Jerusalem next to the Supreme Court, across the Foreign Ministry in protest of the fact that two years have passed since the Expulsion and still no solution is in sight for the Gush Katif farmers. Come and show your support at the rally that will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, at 6:00pm.
3) TISHA B’AV- MONDAY EVENING, JULY 23rd
WOMEN IN GREEN ANNUAL WALK AROUND THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM’S OLD CITY
For Jerusalem’s Sake we will not be Silent!
Join the thousands of men, women, youth and children, young and old, new olim and veterans….in one word: Am Yisrael, who start the fast of Tisha B’av by reading the Lamentations together and then march around the Old City Walls to the Kotel.
This Tisha B’Av will also commemorate two years since the expulsion of the Jews from Gush Katif and Northern Shomron.
Program:
At 20:30 pm- Maariv, followed by reading of Eicha at Safra Square. Bring flag, Megillat Eicha and a flashlight to help you read.
At 21:30 pm- Our Walk begins, led by MK Prof. Arieh Eldad, former Prisoner of Zion Rav Yossef Mendelevitch, Attorney Yoram Sheftel and artist Dudu Elharar. We will pass the New Gate, Damascus Gate and the Flower Gate. At the Lion’s Gate we will assemble to proclaim our eternal bond to the Temple Mount where our First and Second Temples stood, and where the Third Temple will be built, speedily and in our days. We will end our Walk at the Dung gate, near the Kotel.
We have a police permit for the Walk. Come with your whole family, friends, neighbors and relatives. The Walk itself takes only 45 minutes. Even if you heard Eicha at your synagogue in Jerusalem and its surroundings, there will still be plenty of time to join the Walk!

Below, please find a call by the Rabbis of Judea calling upon the public to participate:
B”H
25 Tammuz 5767
Call by the Rabbis of Judea “enlarge the site of your tent”
Join the aliya to the Eitam Hill
During these days of “between the straits” marking destructions and exiles, we lift our eyes and hearts to arousal, revival, and redemption.
The government of Israel, whose job it is to advance and strengthen the process of “etchaltah degeula,” the beginning of redemption, unfolding in our times, unfortunately is not working in that direction. Instead of fulfilling the call of the prophet to “enlarge the site of your tent”, the government is in effect constricting us into a “pale of settlement” and restricting the growth of our communities. Instead of fulfilling the prophet’s promise that “Jerusalem shall be peopled as a city without walls,” the government is putting us behind walls and fences.
Every man, woman, and youth for whom the good of the nation and its future is close to his or her heart, is called upon to join the ascent to Givat Eitam on Wednesday, the 10th of Av, together with the families planning to settle there.
Givat Eitam, part of Efrat’s municipal development plan and intended to house 2500 families, will serve – God willing – as a rallying point for halting the capitulation and as an impetus for building and development, as the hills of the Zayit, the Tamar, and the Dagan were in their times.
We call upon the entire public, and especially the residents of Efrat, to participate in the ascent to Givat Eitam.
Shake off the dust from yourselves, arise, dress in your garments of glory, my people!
Wake up! Wake up! For your light has come. Arise and shine!
