Mindee Levinger is our Jerusalem Coordinator. We have a “trunk” for donations that people bring from abroad, but in reality Mindee spreads love and a feeling of connection to children who are bereaved, injured, suffering from PTSD and sometimes a cruel combination of these throughout the Jerusalem area from the trunk of her car. Visitors are asked to shop for an appropriate gift prior to their trip and bring it with them to Israel. They will drop off donated items, and learn about OneFamily at our Jerusalem Office. They will meet Mindee and hear about her heroic work, the stories of families she touches every day and how their gifts will touch those families.

Duration: 90 minutes
Participants: Families, small groups
Cost: $100 + Participants are asked to bring gifts appropriate for children of at least a $20 value and will be encouraged to leave a monetary donation.

This is a practical workshop. We will teach how terror victims from years past are all but “forgotten” and yet why there needs are as present as ever. We will teach the 3 effective things each participant can do to become a spokesperson on behalf of the lost and forgotten, the living survivors and the bereaved families who still suffer years after their loss. Touching on useful hasbara strategies in general, this workshop will include role playing games on how to speak up and out most effectively to educate others about Israel’s terror victims.

A discussion will be led by OneFamilycounselor (madrichim) about the work that they do as “big brothers” and “big sisters” with OneFamily youth.

There will be time for visitors to ask questions. Then appropriate ice-breaking games and get-to-know you activities will be introduced with open ended social time together in our youth lounge, with music and refreshments.
