Baking for the Soldiers
On Both Sunday and Monday of the trip, everyone comes to my house to bake and cook for the soldiers. After a hearty home-cooked meal, a bus picks us up and we go out to deliver the cakes where the soldiers are doing guard duty. We go a little off the beaten path to where the soldiers are standing in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere. It is difficult to describe their expressions when we show up with the cakes.
They are thrilled and our hearts melt.
Save Israel's Agricultural Farming
The agricultural farms in Israel are an essential part of the country’s economy, and they’ve suffered huge setbacks due to the war. There is a feeling of family and belonging as we help the farmers.Hundreds of helpers are needed every day to keep the farms running at full capacity.
Your work makes a real difference!
The work is physically demanding.

Why are we Volunteering?
*Our hearts are so open as we give to the Jewish people.
*Our Zionism comes alive as we sink our hands into the land.
*Agricultural Volunteering is the heartbeat of our unity.
The farmers can't stop saying thank you and shaking their heads as they say. "You came all the way from the U.S. to help us! Kol HaKavod!"
