Richard Bernstein, far right, speaks with Israeli terrorist attack survivors in
Jerusalem with Yehuda Poch. center.
Sderot, Israel
W
hen the Tzeva Adorn sirens
sound in Sderot — a small
town less than a mile from
the Gaza Strip — men, women and
children alike know they have a mere 15
seconds to find shelter.
Never knowing exactly when another
rocket attack will occur, the 20,000 resi-
dents of Sderot, many underprivileged,
live in a constant state of fear, hoping to
survive with the few safety shelters avail-
able. The people of Sderot have trained
themselves not to leave a building unless
they know where the nearest doorway or
shelter is.
Since the beginning of the second inti-
fada (Palestinian uprising), Sderot has
experienced more than 6,000 Qassam
missile attacks. The children of Sderot
have never known a day without the
constant reminder of the "Color Red"
sirens.
Nearly 1,400 people throughout
Israel have been killed and more than
17,000 injured in terrorist attacks since
September 2000. It is estimated that one
out of every 441 Israelis has been injured
in a terrorist attack.
"Not one neighborhood or family
has not experienced the trauma of a
missile exploding nearby:' said Yehuda
Poch, director of communications for
OneFamily Fund, a Jerusalem-based
international nonprofit organization to
help Israeli survivors of terrorist attacks.
"Many people suffer not only physical
wounds, but from post-traumatic stress
disorder, sleeping disorders and simple
terror:'
OneFamily Fund has been working
to raise awareness of the daily terrors
and long-term effects of terrorist attacks
experienced by the people of Israel. The
organization also provides financial,
legal and emotional assistance to ter-
ror victims. However, the organization's
goals include not just the collection of
money, but also human resources, invit-
ing volunteers from across Israel and
around the world to assist victims of
terror.
Recently, disabled rights advocate and
attorney Richard Bernstein, of the Sam
Bernstein Law Firm in Farmington Hills,
visited OneFamily Fund in Jerusalem
to meet with the survivors of terrorist
attacks.
As a blind person who has been able
to overcome my own disability as well as
help others with disabilities, OneFamily
Fund thought my own experiences
might inspire some of the survivors to
