Yesterday, knowing there was really bad weather coming, I gave out over 300 hats to soldiers all over the Gush Etzion and Hebron Hills areas. They were so, so grateful and I hope you'll all keep knitting for them. Check out the video and photos below!
Many of these soldiers spent the night rescuing stranded drivers, and patrolling unfriendly neighborhoods in sub-zero temperatures. Thank you to all the chayalim who work so hard on our behalf! Thanks also to "Just One Chesed" and "Cafe Hachi Achi" for their help in getting the hats out to soldiers in remote outposts.
Here's my hat mail for the week, I hope you'll all keep up the amazing work:

This is so encouraging Channah. Bless you! Keep up the knitting ladies - you are warming the ears of ISrael's sons and daughters.
Absolutely redemptive!
Great chesed. thank you. Can you send out or post knitting guide, and sizing options, etc. so we can know how to make the hats??? Shabbat Shalom. Miriam
Hi Miriam! If you look at "useful links" on the left side of this page, there are links to the pattern which include info about what yarn to use etc. Feel free to be in touch with me if you have any questions.
What an amazing effort on the part of the knitters - and those hats are welcomed! Most of the soldiers are generally from the warmer parts of Israel and not prepared for this type of cold. It was so amazing to see all different groups join efforts to make sure the soldiers were given the proper gear for the bad weather! Amazing!
