SMS (Solidarity Message For Sederot)

Justin Oberman on Personal Democray Forum reports on the conflict in the Middle East and how mobile technology is now being used to rally people around the world during those 15 seconds.

As rockets fired by Hamas continue to fall into the Israeli city of Sederot where countless of innocent victims have 15 seconds to find shelter and or find their children and loved ones.

The National Council of Young Israel has set up a service called SMS Sderot or (Solidarity Message For Sederot). When the Tzeva Adom (Code Red) siren in sounded in Sederot, SMSSEDEROT will send you a text message that will read:

A Kassam Rocket has just been launched at Sderot. You have: 15 seconds to read Psalm 130. 15 seconds to give to charity 15 seconds to call the UN, the White House, your Senators and Congressman. 15 Seconds to pause and pray for the people of Sderot.
