Join us as we raise a glass to Israel’s independence. From barren landscapes to thriving communities, hear how Jewish National Fund-USA has transformed the North and South into vibrant hubs of life, growth, and connection – initially through our pivotal work increasing water resources, then by supporting the people of Israel in all areas of their lives – one home, one community at a time.
