Remi's Barmitzvah Swimming Challenge

I’m swimming 3 miles for my bar mitzvah to raise money for two amazing charities through Myisrael. The first is Ruca’s Farm, which supports Israeli soldiers dealing with trauma and helps them readjust to civilian life. The farm grows organic fruits and vegetables, creating a peaceful, healing environment for the soldiers. I had the privilege of volunteering there in April, where I met two soldiers who shared how much the farm helped them recover after their service. Their stories inspired me to support Ruca’s Farm as part of my charity swim. The second charity is Misholim, which helps teenagers in Israel cope with emotional challenges through art therapy. This cause is especially meaningful to me because of my late aunt, Deborah. She had severe autism but had a passion for drawing. Supporting Misholim is my way of honoring her memory and helping others heal through the power of art, just like she did. Thank you for supporting me and these incredible causes!
