New York, NY: July16, 2014 – Jewish National Fund today announced that the L’Chaim Solidarity Mission is departing for Israel on July 27 to show support for residents there and to meet with leaders and government officials.

“It is crucial that we show our support for and unity with the Israeli people,”said JNF CEO Russell F. Robinson. “I hope all join with me and mission chairs Lauren Mescon, Melinda Wolf, Vivian Grossman and Vice Chair Rabbi Brian Glusman as we lead this important journey. Now more than ever, we must stand with Israel and her people.”

The L’Chaim Solidarity Mission will allow participants to engage with residents of the Northern Negev who will share their personal stories and experiences, hear exclusive security updates and attend insider briefings with top Israeli officials, volunteer at JNF’s Indoor Recreation Center in Sderot, speak with Iron Dome IDF representatives for a unique look at this remarkable system, and help deliver much-needed supplies to Israeli firefighters and IDF soldiers and hear their stories of bravery and courage.
