I am excited to be participating in the Dream Israel Teen Initiative and raising funds for an important project in Israel. Jewish National Fund supports Israel and Israelis in many ways. The money that I am raising will go towards supporting the Sderot Indoor Recreation Center. Located a mile from Israel's border with Gaza, this secure indoor playground and community center provides kids with a fun place to play and parents with peace of mind that their kids are playing in a safe environment. Play areas double as bomb shelters, ensuring that all occupants can quickly reach safety in the event of a “Code Red” rocket alert.

If I meet my fundraising goal, JNF will provide me with a grant towards my own Israel spring 2027 semester experience at Alexander Muss High School in Israel, 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.
