CABINET COMMUNIQUE
January 18, 2010
Israeli Government and Haiti
Jerusalem, 17 January 2010
At the weekly Cabinet meeting today (Sunday), 17.1.10:
1. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the following remarks:
"I would like to say a few words about the horrific tragedy that took place in Haiti. What happened there is a large-scale disaster
of very great proportions. The lack of protective measures only deepened the tragedy. I think that it is our obligation, as the
State of Israel, as the state of the Jewish People, to mobilize immediately - and this we have done. As soon as I learned of the
dimensions of the disaster, I ordered that a team be dispatched. It left with the speed characteristic of the IDF, in coordination
with the Foreign Ministry.
The defense establishment sent a team which has begun to work and is already saving lives. It is a field hospital with doctors,
x-ray machines and other vital pieces of equipment that are in short supply in Haiti. I think that this is in the best tradition of
the Jewish People; this is the true covenant of the State of Israel and the Jewish People. This follows operations we have carried
out in Kenya and Turkey. Despite being a small country, we have responded with a big heart. The fact is, I know, that this was an
expression of our Jewish heritage and the Jewish ethic of helping one's fellow. I hope that the team saves lives and that Haiti
succeeds in recovering from this awful tragedy.

Article: Upcoming Healthcare Benefit
Upcoming Healthcare Benefit, Gainesville at the Performing Arts Center, Magic Show on February 27.
Ever since the tragic passing of our daughter six months ago, we have been searching for methods of reducing the incidence of
symptoms causing her death. We have received guidance and counseling from a very wide range of people concerning many levels of help
and advice. One of the groups that we had heard of but knew very little about Meridian Behavioral Healthcare, Inc.
Among other things that it does, it deals with drug and alcohol addiction, but these are but a small part of all their
responsibilities and accomplishments.
They are funded in part by the state and their office in Gainesville covers 11 counties, including Alachua. Believe it or not, they
have been given the responsibility for 60 different issues of health, environment, addiction, homelessness and so many others.
To learn more about what they do, please go to www.mbhci.org and like magic, you will be very impressed with their services that are
so important to so many folks of all ages starting with early childhood.
Like so many other agencies, they are suffering the reduction in government dollars and desperately need to raise money in other
ways. They have chosen a program that will be both exciting and thrilling.
It takes place on February 27th just a few short weeks away. This show that you will be able to read more about on the amazing
colorful piece [linked at the start of the article] will give you a spectacular evening.
Prices for the best seats are $65 for adults and $50 in balcony; $35 for students of any age and here is the great part. A large
part of the cost will be tax deductible. Multiple tickets will make the deduction even greater.
I promise you'll never see magic performed in such a convincing way. Hurry up for the best seats. Bring your friends.
