Bless Israel – Volunteer with HaYovel: HaYovel seeks to fulfill the scripture in Yeshayahu 6:24-5 “They [Israel] will rebuild the ancient ruins. They will restore former desolations. They will repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations. Strangers will stand and shepherd your flocks, children of foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.”  HaYovel has 9 different projects for volunteers from the Nations to serve Israeli farmers, as described above, at different times of the year, differing budgets, and differing lengths of stay. For details: https://www.hayovel.com/get-involved/volunteer
