JNF Video Contest- What Israel Means to Me Today

This March, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) offered Jewish college students the opportunity to perform acts of tikkun olam, community service, in Israel through its Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program.
I opted to go on this trip in order to deepen my connection to Israel and its people, and to make a difference in the world.
Some of the projects we worked on include:
-building a water reservoir/rain collection system
-painting low income housing facilities in Dimona
-building an outdoor classroom entirely out of recycled materials and mud
-working at an Ethiopian absorption center
-picking beets for Table to Table
-building a bridge and terrace in Ein Kerem
-cave hike and spelunking
-visiting the Sderot Indoor Playground and Nahal Be'er Sheva
-listening to Debbie Rulnick's story on her move to Keramim
-night out on Ben Yehuda street
-afternoon at Machane Yehuda
-Shabbat in Yerushalayim
