28-Jan-15: We're awarded

The Elder of Ziyon blog, a compulsory and rich resource for advocates of the case for Israel, issues annual awards to recognize the achievements of the pro-Israel advocacy community.

We were delighted to learn tonight that our blog is one of the recipients of the 2015 Hasby Awards. Here's the announcement in Elder's own words:

The most anticipated Hasby Award is for Best Blog, and there were a lot of nominations: Israel Matzav; This Ongoing War; Jews Down Under; Pro-Israel Bay Bloggers; 5 Minutes for Israel; IsraelSeen; Thomas Wictor; IsraelStreet; Abu Yehuda; The Mike Report. It was another difficult category, but for me an enjoyable one to research, as many of these excellent blogs are not on my normal radar. And the winner is Arnold and Frimet Roth's This Ongoing War.

My main criteria for this award are originality of ideas, quality of long-form writing and frequency of posts. Arnold and Frimet's blog averages a post a day, and they are always original and thoughtful posts about the war against Islamic terror both within and without Israel. They are fine writers and they have the facts to back their arguments up. This Ongoing War is a very worthwhile blog to read.

Mazal Tov, Arnold and Frimet!

We are proud to join the fraternity of past Hasby winners.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
