Visit to Kibbutz Hanita in Israel
In October, the JHJC made a visit to our sister city, Kibbutz Hanita. Hanita is located on the Lebanon border in northern Israel. JHJC members, Cliff and Julie Sobin, have been very involved in improving the facilities on the kibbutz. And in August, the JHJC Sisterhood raised money to buy pool toys and lifeguard equipment. During our visit we delivered a "Shalom Y'all" chef's apron (which Cliff is modeling below) that was signed by the Sisterhood and friends of the JHJC. Todah rabah (thank you) to the Sobins and the JHJC Sisterhood for their support. If you plan to travel to Israel, try to visit this magical place.
