“Heart to Heart”

Thirteen Milwaukee women traveled to Israel Feb. 9-13 with more than 110 women from across the country on the Jewish Federation of North America’s fifth annual “Heart to Heart Women’s Mission.” During their visit to the Ranana Absorption Center, participants simulated arriving in Israel as new immigrants and were “welcomed” by the Babayit B’Yachad (At Home Together) Community Network volunteers. One such group is shown here: (from left) Cheryl Moser, Rachael Marks, Sheryl Rubin, an unidentified Babayit B’Yachad volunteer, Sharyl Paley and Andrea Schneider. The Chronicle’s April issue will feature an account of the mission by participant Julie Lookatch. Photo provided by Amy Blumenthal.
