This year membership is 60NIS if paid by the end of September.Membership gives you to discounts on all events, plus a membership card that entitles you to 10% discount in over 15 places in the center of town. In case you are even wondering what NESTO is all about, I have attached our mission statement. We look forward to seeing you all on the 11th, ready to chow down and win big prizes! Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Avi, Josh and Naomi NESTO - Native English Speaking Teen Olim - functions as a religious social group which fosters the successful absorption of teens from English-speaking countries to their new home in Israel. The focus of the group is social, educational and religious programming which helps the teens adjust to the cultural, educational and social norms of Israel. Teen support is offered on many levels by the professional staff addressing both the intellectual and emotional needs of the members. Run under the auspices of the Orthodox Union's Israel Center, the events are appropriate for the modern Orthodox Jewish community. NESTO is committed to accept all teens for whom English is their mother tongue, and to assist them emotionally and socially in making healthy decisions during their high school years. The range of programs offered address the diverse needs and outlooks of our membership. While NESTO will not be a suitable youth group for all teens moving from abroad, it will be, initially, a viable option for all. NESTO views as its goal an ongoing identification with the native countries where the teens migrated from, while acculturating them as dynamic, active, committed citizens of Medinat Yisrael.
