NESTO - Native English Speaking Teen Olim
In 1978, Yaakov and Hadassah Weisel, of Jerusalem, learned that a family in their community did not have enough food. That Shabbat, they cooked some extra food and brought it to the family. Other people soon got involved.

Before long, the Weisels were collecting food for several families and directing its distribution. This is how Yad Eliezer's food basket program was born. Today, some 6,000 families all over Israel receive a basket of "basics" each month.

Last Wednesday, Junior NESTO was lucky enough to spend an hour in the Yad Eliezer warehouse in Jerusalem. The NESTOites sorted huge crates of foods into food baskets so that afterwards, people would be able to easily pack up the foods into baskets.

We developed a sophisticated NESTO chain to lug the baskets from one end of the warehouse to the other. After a totally exhausting hour, we heard from Motti, the warehouse coordinator, about the other programs that Yad Eliezer runs to help the needy.

It was tiring work, but it was great to feel that we could contribute to the needy of Eretz Yisrael.

Senior NESTO were busy last week rehearsing and then studying scripts for our first ever NESTO movie. We hope to start shooting this coming week, so watch out Hollywood!

Junior NESTO looks forward to their first Shabbaton of the year in Chashmonaim. Thank you to the whole community there for hosting us; we hope you enjoy having us!

That's all for now, Shabbat Shalom from all of us here at NESTO
