From evacuation to homecoming 🇮🇱 🍋 🌿
This Sukkot, JNF UK supporters travelled to Israel’s north to meet the people rebuilding their communities after more than two years of upheaval.
At Kibbutz Hanita, just metres from the Lebanese border, they heard directly from residents about the experience of evacuation, returning home and the challenges of rebuilding everyday life.
JNF UK provided emergency assistance to Hanita during evacuation and helped strengthen its emergency response capabilities with essential equipment.
In the spirit of Sukkot, the group shared lunch together in a sukkah at the kibbutz 🥗 ✨
The day included a visit to the Alma Research and Education Centre for expert insight into the challenges facing northern Israel, as well as the Wall and Tower Museum to discover more about Hanita’s remarkable history 🖼
The trip brought supporters closer to the people behind JNF UK’s work, demonstrating how its longstanding mission continues to meet the needs of communities today 💚
