In Pursuit of Justice: Two Trees Campaign Launched

Pursuing Justice:  Two Trees Initiative is part of RHR-NA's In Pursuit of Justice yearlong campaign to celebrate Israel's 60th and RHR's 20th anniversaries, and to promote justice, freedom, and equality for all who live in Israel and under its jurisdiction - Jewish and Arab alike. Funds raised through this initiative will be used to plant trees in impoverished neighborhoods in Israel and in the West Bank.
