Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. For my Bar Mitzvah I am supporting the Yemin Orde Youth Villiage. My Bar Mitzvah falls in the week of Tu B’Shvat. I wanted to support a project connected with trees – and when I heard about the fire on the Carmel, I knew that I wanted to support a project that was helping repair the damage caused by the fire. This is what the Youth Aliyah department has to say about Yemin Orde: “Just when the students of Yemin Orde prepared to celebrate the 2nd day of Chanukah, the worst fire in Israel history struck and the whole village was evacuated on an emergency basis. Yemin Orde Youth Village in the Carmel mountains was one of the disasters of the Carmel Forest fire. Yemin Orde is home to more than 500 immigrant, disadvantaged and at-risk children and youth from 20 countries around the world. It provides the children with an education and a warm home - something which they did not have before. Approximately 40 percent of the buildings in Yemin Orde, were damaged or destroyed and the water and energy supply completely destroyed. My brother Jojo has been volunteering in Israel helping the children of Yemin Orde.”
