26 September 5 • 2019 jn jews d in the New Program for Birthright Alumni Volunteers for Israel (VFI) announced a new program that will bring Birthright alumni from colleges across the United States back to Israel to volunteer on Israel Defense Forces bases. Thousands of American Jews have connected to Israel through Birthright. On their post-trip eval- uations, participants have consis- tently rated encounters with Israeli soldiers to be among the most valuable experiences. “To build on these positive experiences, VFI has created an incredible opportunity for Birthright alumni to return to and give back to the State of Israel by working alongside their peers and IDF soldiers on military bases,” said Campus Director Linda Askenazi. In June, a pilot group of 30 stu- dents from 19 American college campuses completed their volun- teer work on an IDF base in Israel’ s north. These students will now assist with recruitment from their campuses and communities for the continuing VFI program. The inaugural trip was funded by VFI and the support of a generous donor. VFI is exploring partnerships with other pro-Israel campus-based organizations for the program. For more information, contact LindaVficampus@gmail.com or (347) 495-0384. VOLUNTEERS FOR ISRAEL Birthright alumni were volunteering in Israel last month as part of a pilot program. ROSH HASHANAH GREETINGS Continue a 77-year tradition!
