“Leket was an amazing experience,” her classmate, Aya Vlasoff, added. “It gave us a chance to take a break from sight-seeing and do something for others. We got to pick a vegetable that not many of us had ever had, so it made the time farming more exciting.”
With their hard work and enthusiasm, the day school’s eighth-grade class rolled up their sleeves to pick 1500 pounds of fresh kohlrabi for distribution to Israelis in need.”
