On Tuesday, December 28th, we had the opportunity to tour Yemin Orde with our Haifa Fellows (thanks Sergey, Eden, Ohr, and Avraham), learn about youth village, and see the fire damage up close and personal. On one hand it was pretty devastating to see the damage and think about all the students who already had to go through a lot in their lives having to go through a trauma such as this, but on the other hand there seemed to be such optimism in the village, a sense that this destruction was just temporary. Our friends kept saying you should have seen how beautiful this once was followed very quickly with how beautiful it will be again. We will be in touch with Yemin Orde over the next few months to find out if there will be supplies we can arrange to collect and send back with the Haifa Fellows when they are here in April.
Check out this article about our groups published in The Jerusalem Post on Friday the 31st.
