post-college Israel programs

WUJS participants volunteer with families from Southern Israel

Due to the current security situation in the South of Israel, the Judaean Guest House in Jerusalem is currently hosting families from towns close to the Gaza border.

Yesterday, Amira, Lauren and Laurel volunteered to facilitate a small arts & crafts workshop for the children of those families.  The children are from Sderot and Nitzan (a small village in the South), and these are the quietest days they've had in their young lives (they were all born after the Qasams were already a part of the every day reality in the South).  The Ben Porat, Ovadia and Golan families were so thankful that our students took the time to run this workshop for their children and so they will be back for more fun tomorrow!
