The Baal Shem Tov, or Besht —  the founder of Chasidism — 
met the soul of the Messiah during an ascent to heaven. 
The Besht asked him, "When will the Master come?" 
The Messiah answered, "When your wellsprings break forth to the outside!" 
(from a letter written by the Besht to his brother-in-law about one of his soul ascents)

Educate and Contribute

Please help Save the Negev educate your friends and communities about Blueprint Negev and JNF-US. Share the link: savethenegev.org!

If you want to help the Bedouin, you can give now to Bustan or to Ben Gurion University. We also look forward to recommending ways to give to JNF-US, and hope that successful negotiations for reform will lead to our being able to suggest specific projects and efforts for you to give to. This site is the place to find out.

Please send a check made out to David Seidenberg to Neohasid.org - SavetheNegev, c/o Beit Ahavah, P.O. Box 28, Northampton, MA 01061. We've suggested $13 as gematria for three precious ideas: unity (echad) and love (ahavah), and the thirteen attributes of mercy. Some other relevant gematriot: 26 (God / Nature); 59 (brethren); 245 (desert). Please e-mail David Seidenberg at rebduvid86 at hotmail.com if you have any questions or suggestions, or volunteering ideas.
