Jewish National Fund-USA

Jewish National Fund-USA builds a strong, vibrant future for the land and people of Israel through bold initiatives and Zionist education. As a leading philanthropic movement, the organization supports critical environmental and nation-building activities in Israel’s north and south as it develops new communities in the Negev and Galilee, connects the next generation to Israel, and creates infrastructure and programs that support ecology, people with disabilities, and heritage site preservation, all while running a fully accredited study abroad experience through its Alexander Muss High School in Israel.
“Our young professionals community represents the best of what’s next. They are the leaders who will carry our mission forward and help us reimagine what’s possible for Israel.”
“This experience builds connections to the land—and to one another—that last a lifetime,” said Melissa Goldberg of JNF.
The 16-acre campus in Beersheva will feature state-of-the-art centers for Zionist education, leadership training, dialogue and community building.
“The new frontier today in Israel is the Galilee,” said Erel Margalit, founder and executive chairman of Jerusalem Venture Partners and the Margalit Startup City.
“Honestly, the highlight of my trip was just painting a tractor in a kibbutz up north,” said Kendall Raff, who attends the University of Tennessee.
“Through every challenge, we have overcome, fueled by an unshakable spirit and an unbreakable bond with our ancient homeland,” said local event chairs Ariel and Josh Deitchman, and Loren and Eric Stein.
