Each day, 2-3 volunteers wrote reflections and shared pictures of our mission. Rabbi Lucas offered a kavanah (intention) for the first day – gratitude. We are all grateful for the support of our family and friends, for our health to be able to travel and participate in this mission, for the blessing of Israel.
This story collection is designed to deepen our connections with each other by sharing the stories of our loved ones currently in Israel.
THANK YOU for helping us share love, resources, and commitment through support for Israel and specifically this Kibbutz that has found home with Beth Am through their most troubling of times. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Nahal Oz when visiting Israel and through technology from a distance!

World Zionist Organization: MY HOME IS YOUR HOME
One of the most important and expensive challenges is finding housing for the residents of the communities surrounding Gaza and the North, who overnight became refugees in their country. The State of Israel has evacuated most of the residents to hotels, but this is a very expensive and unsuitable solution for a family for more than a few days.
