Hey friends! This summer I will be going to school in Israel and I am beyond excited! I will be participating in the Dream Israel-Teen Travel Initiative and raising funds for important projects in Israel. Jewish National Fund is supporting Israel and its citizens in a number of different ways. The money that I will raise will go towards Sderot Indoor Recreation Center. Sderot is located less than one mile from Gaza. For nearly a decade, the people living there have endured continual rocket attacks from Gaza. This situation forces young children to spend most of their time indoors, because they must always be within 15 seconds of a bomb shelter. This recreation center is giving children the chance to be able to play indoors, how they would outside and gives them a sense of normalcy. Supporting this project, will ensure that the children and families of Sderot know that they have a place where they can feel safe.

If I meet my fundraising goal, JNF will provide me with a grant towards studying in Israel for 6 weeks and meeting Israelis, whose lives could be changed due to your support. Please consider supporting this important initiative and my efforts to meet my fundraising goal. Thank you all for the love and support. It means so much to me💜
