Hi! My name is Naomi Allen and I'm currently a freshman at Millburn High School in NJ. I plan to attend Alexander Muss High School in Israel this upcoming fall semester. Judaism has always been a core part of my identity, so I am excited to grow my connection with Israel and my Jewish heritage further.

As part of the AMHSI program, I am proud to be participating in the Dream Israel Teen Initiative to raise funds for important projects in Israel. Jewish National Fund is supporting Israel and Israelis in a number of different ways. The money that I am raising will be donated to fire and rescue services in Israel who are in urgent need of supplies. These heroic men and women help people following terrorist attacks, fires, and accidents. The funds raised will go towards firetrucks, necessary tools, and generally making sure that the firefighters are adequately equipped to help others.

If I meet my fundraising goal of $5,000, JNF will provide me with a grant towards my own Israel travel experience, ensuring my opportunity to meet Israelis whose lives have been changed due to our support, and to explore my own connection to the land and people of Israel. Please consider supporting this important initiative and my efforts to meet my fundraising goal.
