New business forum launched in Bet Shemesh to help Anglos find jobs

I am a big fan of people coming together to help others in times of need. The job market in Israel has been devestating in Israel and I would venture to say has had a bigger effect on Anglos. 

Reason being that the Anglo lifestyle is usually higher as well as most of the jobs being cut are in the high-tech field which was hit the hardest in Israel and where a majority of Anglos are employed. Also noted is IDT having shut down their call center has left hundreds of Anglos without jobs.

But the good people of Bet Shemesh are not going to sit back and wait for something to happen. They are banding together and creating work shops, lectures and other ways to help Anglos in Israel earn a living. 

Below is text from emails sent to the Bet Shemesh Email list that will provide more details.

The Beit Shemesh Business Forum has been formed to help unemployed Anglos deal with the procedural, financial and social aspects of unemployment in Israel. The Forum’s goals are to provide as much assistance and information as possible as people navigate the system.

The Beit Shemesh Business Forum is looking for people and businesses who can help unemployed persons.

Here’s a number of ways:
1)     The Forum is putting together a list of professionals who can help in
different spheres- whether they be law, finances, vocational, social and
more. If you would like to be put on this list, please E-Mail bsbizforum@gmail.com

Please note that we ask that you offer services either for free or at a
discounted rate

2)     The Forum is looking for people willing to write articles and posts
for the blog- http://bsbizforum.blogspot.com

3)     The Forum is putting together a Small Business Forum comprised of
professionals in marketing, law, accounting, sales and more. The goal is for
this forum to meet once or twice a year and evaluate business plans
submitted to the group by people looking to start a business. This forum is
completely voluntary and is meant to save prospective small business owners thousands of shekels. If you would like to offer your time, please E-Mail bsbizforum@gmail.com.
