Kiryat Shmona - Community Rebuild Project

Join us as we bring a small team of volunteers to Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel, where local authorities are working urgently to rebuild communities devastated by the war of October 7. As residents begin returning home, our focus will be on restoring essential community spaces—clearing debris, landscaping, painting, and repairing buildings that were damaged or left abandoned during evacuation. This is hands-on, physical work aimed at helping the community recover and regain access to vital services.

  • Comfortable with manual labor and physical work

  • Willing to do tasks such as landscaping, clearing debris, painting, and basic repairs

  • No construction experience required, but helpful

  • At least two volunteers with basic construction or repair skills are preferred

  • Flexible, team-oriented attitude and readiness to follow local direction

  • Must be 18 years or older

  • Physically able to lift, bend, and move materials as needed
