For a celebration

Bar and bat mitzvah

Choose a gift a guest can picture. A class spends the year in the nature reserve next to their town. Or an injured sea turtle is treated and returned to the sea.

Pick one project

Both are already underway in Israel. Give here, or put the same link in the invitation so guests can give in honor of the day.

Adopt a class

Ametz Kita (Adopt a Class) is a year with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority. Instructors teach the ecology of the students' own region. The class then goes into the park and takes care of it. The classes still to be opened are in Arab, Bedouin, and Druze communities.

Read about the class

Sea turtle rescue

Injured sea turtles wash ashore along Israel's coast. The rescue center treats them, keeps them through rehabilitation, and returns most of them to the sea. A gift pays for veterinary care, the pools, and that release.

There is no set price for one turtle. Give the amount that fits the celebration.

How the gift works

  1. Choose the class or the turtles.
  2. Give on this site, or send guests the same link.
  3. The gift is to American Friends of INHF Inc. Our board reviews it and decides the grant. The class and the rescue work happen in Israel. American Friends is separate from the Israel Nature and Parks Authority.
