    Kaie Bird - Sharing Tables - Creating Community through love of coffee

    Kaie created Sharing Tables to be 'excuse' to bring people who normally wouldn't come together, at the same 'table' and creating community or friendships. Within the coffee industry here, before she began her events back in end of 2015-start of 2016, people working at the various cafes didn't mingle. It wasn't a thing that happened. They were "the enemy". Through all of the events in the past 5 years though, she has been able to great a solid foundation and community where people come together and share their ideas, knowledge, skills, and are friends.  These cafe owners now talk and share with one another, to a degree, and there is a real sense of a community. This wasn't a thing before my events with Sharing Tables. Sharing Tables was needed to bridge the community together, past their history and perceived differences. Specialty coffee has taken giant leaps here locally in past few years and while the cafes are mostly still seeing the scene with dollar signs in their eyes, Kaie sees heart. She wants there to be some heart and does her best to keep building up the strong foundation she has through events like barista jams, cuppings, education, and other community coffee events.

    Judy Bogen - Place2Heal - Creating a healing space that encourages wellness over illness

    Judy Bogen made Aliyah to Israel from England and settled in Israel, raised three children and enjoyed a career including marketing, human resources and office management and administration. In 2008, she and her family went on shlichut to the United States, where she was diagnosed with stage 1/ grade 3 breast cancer. She underwent surgeries and treatments till the summer of 2009. When she returned to Israel in 2011, she continued her follow up. The health care she receives here is excellent and the staff, very professional. However, the outpatient centers are not comfortable and healing spaces. They do not give the patient the stress-free environment necessary when living through cancer treatment. And, so she took on a different kind of Shlichut. After studying the connection between one emotional and mental state and physical conditions, she established Place2Heal in 2016. It is a nonprofit organization which focuses on raising funds for renovating and redesigning Cancer Day Care Units in Israeli hospitals. 'I wanted to bring about a change in cancer day care units, to help oncology patients in Israel” she explains.'The professional treatment in Israel is excellent, but the physical environment leaves more to be desired.'

    Pnina Rappeport - Dror for the Wounded Foundation - Falling in love with Israel

    Pnina first fell in love with Israel when she came to spend a year in the country after finishing high school, on her gap year. She spent the year living in the old city while studying. It was crazy to believe that the very stones that housed her, held thousands of years of memories. In short, she fell in love with the history, the people and the hope that Israel has always brought and continues to bring.  Pnina returned to my home in Melbourne, Australia and began to feel a void that grew bigger as time went on. She diagnosed myself with FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), from the action and history that is created every single day in Israel. Israel had become a huge part of her heart and it wasn't before long, she planned to make Aliyah. When the day of her Aliyah arrived, she left her family in tears as the infamous 'swallowing doors' by passport control took me away to my future. She felt like a shtetl jew going to the 'Goldener Medina', not knowing when or how she would see her family again (Australia was simply too far and expensive to fathom).  Pnina arrived in Israel and began life in the Merkaz Klita Ulpan in Jerusalem and made friends for life. A year in, she found her dream job, and met her husband. 2 years in, her sister and BFF, made Aliyah. 3 years in, her parents and my other sister followed them and made Aliyah too. A year after that, she and her sister were married 2 months of each other. Fast forward almost 9 years later, she and her husband are privileged to watch their 2 little kids grow up in this magical country. Dror for the Wounded Foundation: The Dror for the Wounded Foundation helps wounded Israeli soldiers and provides these brave individuals with financial assistance for medical and psychological treatments, education and training, small construction projects, advocacy, and general financial aid. In allocating resources, we consider each soldier’s individual situation and need. Our aim is to make sure our soldiers get back on their feet and we do everything in our power to make sure that happens.
