Ashdod's Way of Fighting Evil

Here is a bittersweet taste of my beloved hometown of Ashdod:

 

Two weeks ago, Irit Shitrit, age 39 and mother of 4, was killed by a Hamas-fired Grad missile from Gaza when she got out of her car to try and take cover in the bus stop pictured above, a few minutes walk from my home. Our City Maintenance Department cleaned and repaired the bus stop, but they haven't been able to wipe away the stains of Irit's blood, which can still be seen in the concrete.

King Solomon said (Proverbs 10:2), "Charity saves lives." There is one change in the bus stop; our community activists have put up a charity box for the benefit of the city's poor. This is Ashdod's way of fighting evil.
