Cute. I would be really nervous standing there and just hugging anyone who wanted - what if they got some real weirdo coming up? Takes some guts. That said, I have a really sweet friend who tends to be a bit down but actually gets a lot of pleasure in helping others and volunteering for this is perfect for her, is there some contact you could pass on to me? She lives in Jerusalem (where hugs are sorely needed but probably would be rebuffed) but is in Tel Aviv on occaision.
