This summer, URJ Camp Coleman staged a solidarity march for Gilad Shalit, the captured Israeli soldier. Now, the march has been nominated for the 2010 Irving J. Fain Award. The award, given by the Commision on Social Action of Reform Judaism, seeks to recognize outstanding and innovative social action work carried out by Reform congregations and summer camps.
During his four years in captivity, Gilad Shalit has been kept in total isolation and has been denied visits from humanitarian aid groups like the Red Cross. This is in direct violation of the Geneva Convention and is a violation of his human rights. Please sign this petition demanding that Gilad be released now, and that until he is released, that Hamas abide by the rules of the Geneva Convention.
Below, see photos from the Coleman march.
