Robert Fox of Philadelphia, who participated in a November mission throughout Israel with groups from the United Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Dan Onorato, was so moved by his experiences that he wrote about his trip for the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent.
The group toured across the country, from the Karmiel-Misgav region in the north to Netivot -Sdot Negev region in the south, thanks to a special Jewish Agency Partnership 2000 link between the regions and these Jewish communities.
