This year I will be turning 45 in Israel, where I was born and raised.

I will be traveling as a volunteer with the Jewish National Fund. Together with other volunteers I will be doing whatever is needed of me, be it agricultural work, administrative work, factory work or anything else I can do to help while the Israeli population is called up to the army to defend itself.

I am also going to bear witness to the atrocities committed on October 7th and hear from those who lived through it. I will be there to let them know that we love them and care about them and that they are not alone.

I am hoping to raise $2,000 for this timely and consequential cause for my birthday. Please help if you can.

Together, we can make a difference! Am Israel Chai!!!
