Teenagers interested in building up the land of Israel will get a chance to do so on Chanukah, when the Women for Israel's Tomorrow organization (Women in Green) will sponsor a one-day camp for youth to get involved in agriculture in Judea. The camp opportunity follows a previous successful camp.
Participants in the Yibaneh (lit. "It will be will be built") camp will be guided by professional farmers from the Galilee region. Their work will involve marking off areas of land, painting, and planting.
Youths age 15 and up are eligible to take part.
The camp's motto is "Planting trees on the hills and planting values in the heart." It aims to simultaneously develop the hills of Judea and restore plants demolished by Palestinian Authority vandalism, and to teach youth the importance of hands-on work and their own power to rebuild the land of Israel.
Work will take place in Netzer in the Gush Etzion region, south of Jerusalem, from 9a.m. to 3p.m. on Sunday, December 5.
For details and registration: Yehudit Katsover 050-7161818; Nadia Matar 050-5500834.
