Friends,
Most of you know my absolute love and passion for The State of Israel. Since my first trip to Israel, in the Summer of 1989, my heart has always had a second home. If you've been to Israel, you know the feeling the second the wheels of the plane touch down.... I am HOME.

I have been fortunate enough to visit Israel seven times, I have hosted dozens of Israelis in my camp programs, I have dedicated my life and career to Israel and Jewish organizations. I have been fortunate enough to support my daughter, Ella, as she traveled on a leadership mission to Israel last year through JNF. My dream is for me and Jimmy to travel to Israel so he can see Israel through my eyes and then we can create new memories of OUR Israel. And of course, praying that Brayden and Parker get to one day fall in love with Israel the way I have.

I am a PROUD JEW and PROUD ZIONIST. Finding my new home at Jewish National Fund has been life changing and I am so proud of the work I get to be a part of every day. Helping to ensure that you, your families and my family have a place to call YOUR home in the future is my privilege.

Please help me support Jewish National Fund by making a contribution to my fundraising page and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Jewish National Fund's great cause! Additionally, you can ask me how you can get involved too. Together, we can make a difference!

AM YISRAEL CHAI.
