A New Website Supporting Israeli Soldiers Gains Thousands of Signups
In less than a week, a new website that encourages people to perform simple good deeds as a form of spiritual support for Israeli soldiers has received thousands of signups. The website, Just One Thing, was created by Aki Stein and his team at Digital Artistry Marketing based in New York. Stein expressed his emotional response to what was happening in Israel and his desire to help. Together with his team, he launched the website, which has gained over 50,000 matches and counting.
The concept behind the website is rooted in Judaism, where it is believed that good deeds can contribute to putting an end to conflicts and ensuring the safety of soldiers. Users of the site enter their names, emails, and Hebrew names (if applicable), along with their commitment or “kabalah” to improve the world. Examples of kabalahs include keeping kosher, refraining from negative speech, saying extra prayers, or observing shabbos. Once submitted, users receive the name of a soldier to pray for or dedicate their commitment to.
Since the website’s launch, people have shown their dedication by saving soldiers’ names on their phones or in prominent places as reminders. Many individuals have been submitting names of soldiers they know as news about the website spreads within Jewish circles. The overwhelming response has led to the creation of a Spanish-language version of the website for Latin American users.
The impact of Just One Thing has extended beyond support for soldiers. Some individuals have become more observant in their faith as a result, with over 1,000 people planning to keep Shabbat for the first time. Stein emphasized that people of all faiths and levels of observance are welcome to participate, including Christians who have expressed interest in joining. The website has sparked immense spiritual growth and unity among its users.
