Chief Rabbis of Israel Call: Buy
Blue-And-White
Chief Rabbis Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron and
Yisrael Meir Lau ask the public to buy Israeli products. Following a
meeting with Industry and Trade Minister Dalia Itzik, who is pushing
the campaign to "buy blue-and-white" (Israel's official colors), the
rabbis issued a call that was read in synagogues throughout the
country on the Shavuot holiday this past Friday. "In light of the
economic situation," the rabbis wrote, "when factories are being
closed, unemployment is growing, and many families can barely afford
to put food on the table, we are commanded to fulfill the verse, 'If
your brother falters, strengthen him, that he may live with you.' It
is incumbent upon us to help our brothers who face financial
difficulties, and enable them to live honorably before they require
charity. During these days of trouble both nationally and
individually, we must be careful to buy Israeli-made products."
