Aviv News

Dear Aviv Members,

I hope you all enjoyed the summer vacation and got new inspiration for this coming year! I would like to share with you the inspiration that I got from my visit to Israel this summer. I was deeply inspired by the recent demonstrations that occurred all over Israel that were led by the young Israeli generation and swept the whole nation.

Their message is a message of hope for a better future, love for Israel and unity of the people of Israel. For the first time, the message stands apart from political views.

The demonstrations are about the high and rising costs of living, public education system, gaps between the social economic classes of society and about lowering the economic burden that is heavily influencing the middle class. This wave of hope and unity felt like a new form of Zionism. People in the streets gave a voice and raised the awareness of the Israeli public health system in addition to the already existing physicians strike.

Hadassah provides an opportunity for our Israeli community here in the bay to be involved in the efforts for a better future. Wishing all of you a wonderful year,

Ofira Eliav
