‘Tis the season in Israel.
The season where our trees come out of their winter slumber and begin blooming into their new year cycle. The season where the people of Israel dig their hands deep within the fertile soil and place delicate tree roots that will then flourish throughout the land. We dine together on delicious fruits that have proven significant to Israel, such as as grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates.
‘Tis the season of Tu B’shvat.
Meet current Career Israel participant, Ruth.
Ruth is wrapping up her five months as a legal intern at Adam Teva V’Din (Israel Union for Environmental Defense) while a participant on Career Israel. “I have always felt that humans are meant to be stewards of the Earth,” says Ruth. “While in Israel, I’ve felt like an environmentalist missionary: I get people to believe in their responsibilities for the environment, and to take even small actions”.
We all try and do our share, from turning off the lights to throwing our milk cartons in the recycle bin. Yet, what if you could join people like Ruth who planted her roots in the Green Israel revolution? Join those like Ruth, who took the responsibility in to her own hands? Who made a change, while enhancing her career at the same time.
