CAARI - Back in Tel Aviv from our northern experience! What a four days we had! Now, we are energized for our community service for the next 10 days! Last evening 7 others joined the CAARI group.
Friday they were introduced to spring-like weather as they came from the frigid Canada and east coast. They began the day with a tour along Tel Aviv's new Independence Trail, from the 1900's to today, and time to explore the city on the own - the shuk, crafts market and a stop at a local cafe for a coffee - just like the Tel Avivians!
Wishing all a Shabbat Shalom
TREES! Thursday was our closing day in the Galilee and we ended the day with a true connection with the land of Israel! What could be better than getting you hands in the soil and planting a tree for a happy occasion or in memory of someone special? All this is possible with the Jewish National Fund (JNF) and the JNF in Israel known as KKL (Keren Keyemth l'Yisrael).
We see the trees, forests and other park and recreation projects, as we drive through the country. But, where do they come from? Who takes care of them? KKL-JNF cares for them!
We learned this as we toured one of the three nurseries spread throughout the country, the one in the north. Kalil, one of the KKL foresters spoke to use about the trees and JNF. This was followed by Halel, who walked us through the 'birthing' process from a seedling to a tree! We were impressed with the knowledge and dedication to their love for the trees!
