Hikind group finds itself in middle of mortar attack
The Hikind solidarity group was rushed onto their bus and into a shelter by members of the IDF when the area in Kiryat Shmonah where they were came under mortar attack. The soldiers began yelling that they had to go find cover right away, because it was to dangerous to stay there. Dov was heard saying that this trip was by far his most incredible and most rewarding trip to Israel ever. The group also brought fresh hot pizza to overjoyed troops, which they had purchased at the only pizza shop in north Israel that was still open for business.

As I previously stated, he is just adding stress to the IDF. How nice of Dov to spend a few Shekel on buying pizza for the troops. What would have really helped Israel would have been to send the thousands of dollars the trip is costing the group to those in need of help in Israel. About sixty people going with him, is probably about sixty thousand dollars that could have went directly to those in need of help in Israel.

If you feel donating money is the only way you can contribute, then good for you. It's extremely important, and a tremendous mitzvah.
However, don't be so quick to dismiss alternative, but equally crucial methods of contribution.
Dov's being there boosts the morale of chayalim and terror victims, and shows that American Jewry stands with Israel (For the most part). Something no amount of dough can accomplish.

Listen, like it or not, DOv took his time and money, and did something.
I got to tell you that Dov is a yid a tzadik.
Don;t stand on the sidelines and just poke fun. i think the intention was simply ahavas yisroel. something we all can use more of in these trying times.
