While some New Yorkers were delivering a letter to the U.S. mission to the U.N. asking America to stop the war in Lebanon, and thousands of Jews in Los Angeles mounted a demonstration in support of Israel’s response to Hezbollah’s attacks, a synagogue in Overland Park, Kansas, was preparing another response to the brutal conflict in the Middle East–collecting money to send pizzas to members of the Israeli Defense Force.

The suburban Kansas City congregation is collecting donations for Pizza IDF, a service working to ensure that people all over the world can show their support for the Israeli Defense Force by delivering a hot, fresh pizza to troops who might otherwise be eating rations in a jeep. Â
Oh, and don’t forget the burgers.
