If the non-Jews don't think enough of our religion and people to take the trouble to join the tribe, I say we don't need them. The primary purpose of this program is to provide aid to Israel through volunteer work and to build lasting relationships between Israelis and the Diaspora. This program enables all jews anywhere in the world the opportunity to participate in the national effort of the jewish people in the State of Israel. Volunteers will work on military bases,hospitals,kibbutz, or local community centers as assigned. There is no work on Friday after- noon or Shabbat.
Several volunteers live together in one room.
Men and women are housed separately. Generally you are free to spend Shabbat with relatives or friends. Home hospitality with an Israeli family may be arranged when possible. The kind of work you will be doing will depend upon current need. The assignment may include manual labor, repair, maintenance,patient care, kitchen duties, gardening, geriatric care.
