Hi, I'm Yael Habari and I am 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. The money that I am raising will go towards funding several important initiatives, specifically Environmental Studies scholarships for students at the Arava Institute and AICAT.

When I was 10 years old, my family and I learned about a study abroad program at my father's former high school in Israel. It was my dream to go there! In 2019, my father passed away after a two-year battle with cancer. I am still hoping to fulfill my dream, and study in my father's home - Israel.

If I meet my fundraising goal, 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. Thanks so much!
