Dear Group SAOI-51-5288 🍋
(or, as I secretly like to call you, the Chesed Ladies),
When I first heard about an all-women group coming to volunteer here, I honestly didn't know what to expect. I had no clue I was about to meet 18 incredible ladies with passion in their eyes, a deep connection to Am Yisrael in their hearts, and unstoppable energy, ready to work 💪🏽
You taught me what Yalla mode really looks like—picking lemons and grapefruits, packing aid packages, building stairs on a farm, or clearing the way for olive trees to grow. You shared with me your spiritual connection to Jerusalem while walking through the Old City and touring Nachlaot. And you showed me how much hope and faith you can carry in your heart, even after visiting the Nova Festival site. 🙏🏽
You are incredible. You are proof that Am Yisrael’s story is not about those who tried to hurt us, but about the light we have within us and the light we share with the world. Our story is about showing up whenever our brothers and sisters need us and letting them know that we are one. 🫂
Looking forward to seeing you again—these past eight days have been pure zchut 🥰
