Questions about HESED?

"You came back!" the Israeli hospital worker said in surprise.
"Of course we did. We are your friends."

Friendship is the theme of Hesed.

WHAT IS HESED? 

 
Hesed is an exciting, Christian adult-volunteer program to Israel, hosted by The Friends of Israel. Participants will work alongside Israelis doing manual labor and giving of their time, effort, and resources to help us serve the people of Israel practically.

How does a Hesed worker serve? 

Primarily you will be assigned tasks that require working with your hands. They might involve cleaning equipment, organizing storage areas, cleaning air conditioning, as well as site maintenance, food, landscaping and gardening, laundry service – or a host of other tasks. Participants will work with, and at the direction of, Israelis – doing whatever they may assign.

"So much of Hesed is about hopefully giving support to Israel and it’s people, but more and more we realize that we ourselves receive more blessing than we could ever say!" Carol from Sydney, Australia
"It brings me great joy to know that we are helping to make a difference here at Kaplan [Medical Center] and for the people of Israel. The joy I have in my heart and spirit makes our work fun." Lee from Tennessee

Awaiting you is an amazing opportunity to meet and serve the people of Israel

Hesed members always leave Israel with a deep love for the Jewish people and a desire to return, which some do year after year. We'd love for you to join us, but if you are unable to go, you can send someone to love the Jewish people on your behalf!
