Past participant Aaron Herzl reflected on his experience witnessing JDC's work in the field of education in Israel:
"After a visit a JDC-supported school, I had a realization. These children were getting an education beyond their parents' wildest dreams. They were surrounded by the efforts of loving JDC hearts from around the world. Where others turned away, the Joint brought new hope and loving support to Israel's lost children. I was and continue to be honored to be associated with a humanitarian effort of this magnitude. I am part of something that brings light where there is darkness. Like those students, I too have been touched by the JDC."
