The Israel Committee is co-sponsor for the November 1 dinner. We are so pleased that the Adult Education Committee has invited Don Schlesinger, Executive Director of the Jewish National Fund to share with us how JNF works for us.
One activity JNF does is plant trees and Don’s talk will be the kickoff for the planting of a Beth Ami grove of trees in Israel.
JNF also builds communities, especially in the north and south. They work with water management, and they support those with special needs. They do all this for both Arabs and Jews.
JNF also is strong in building Jewish identity. In particular, they provide a life-changing experience for high school students to study in Israel for 6 or 8 weeks.
