Hey! My name is Noya Rosenberg and I am really excited to be participating in the Dream Israel Teen Initiative and raising funds for important projects in Israel. Jewish National Fund is supporting Israel and Israelis in a number of different ways, such as the money that participating teens are raising will go towards funding several important initiatives. One that specifically spoke to me is the Sderot Indoor Recreation Center. The center is a safe environment for Sderot kids to happily play with each other, and the secured venue doubles as a bomb shelter in case of emergency. Also, it advantages kids with a soccer field and volleyball court, movie theater, disco, rock climbing wall, snack area, computer center, and jungle gym. Overall, it is a magical place that provides these unlucky kids with a sense of normalcy in their childhood. If I meet my fundraising goal, JNF will provide me with a grant towards my own Israel travel experience, the Alexander Muss High School in Israel program, ensuring my opportunity to meet Israelis whose lives have been changed due to our support, and to explore my own connection to the land of Israel that I love so much and that I have grown up hearing about from my parents. Please consider supporting this important initiative and my efforts to meet my fundraising goal, thank you so much!
