NESTO - Native English Speaking Teen Olim
Hi, and welcome to a New Year here at NESTO. We hope that the year ahead is going to be full of Happiness, Health and Goodness for all of Am Yisrael.
We held our traditional opening B-B-Q in Gan Sacher this past week. It was great to see all the old faces as well as meeting new members and madrichim.
It is my honor to introduce our new Bat-Sherut, Mimi.
Hi, my name is Mimi Edel. I am the new Bat-Sherut this year. I was born in Israel, I live in Ra’anana and I finished school last year in Tzvia, Herzliya. My family is originally from England, but sorry I don’t have a British accent. I have a lot of crazy ideas for NESTO activities this year, It’s going to be a lot of fun, so be there. Preparations are under way for the Succot Tiyulim. The juniors will be going to the Zoo, for more information and to register call Chave on 050 444 401 or Mimi on 058 358 842.
With Blessings for a Shana Tova to you all, From all of us here at NESTO
