Thousands of ideologically-motivated young adults are moving to underdeveloped towns and cities in Israel’s periphery to build social, mission-driven communities.

On February 7, learn about this inspirational movement and meet Hadas Goldman and Yuval Bdolah, two of the pioneers who are challenging Israel’s status quo, at Federation’s Imagine Israel Changemakers Series.

On the Jewish birthday of trees, known as Tu B’Shevat the 15th of the Hebrew month of Shevat, which falls this year on January 31, Israeli children sing songs to the almond tree. The universal tradition is to plant trees. So, what might we learn as we prepare for our celebration? What truths do the trees teach us?
