Holly Baumann's trip to Israel

My name is Rhaiza Jablecki.  I am the mother of a student of Holly's B'nai Mitzvah class at Congregation Dor Hadash. Our Havurah in particular is raising money for Holly Baumann's future trip to Israel. Holly Baumann is an intrinsec part of Congregation Dor Hadash, and an essential part in the Jewish Education of the children that attend our Gesher School, especially of the B'nai Mitzvah Class, not just because she teaches them Hebrew and Judaica but because as a teacher she goes above and beyond the call of duty, as many of us have witnessed. Holly has never been to Israel and when she had the opportunity thru Birthright, she was not able or ready to do it. The parents in the 2015-2016 B'nai Mitzvah class imagines that if we pool all our resources, we could give Holly the gift of traveling to Eretz Israel.
"Israel is much more than a tiny piece of land in the Middle East. She is living proof that the Jewish people have survived, against all odds, and will continue to survive -- and thrive." by Darcy Silvers. 
I'd like all those who have come to know, respect and love Holly to show their appreciation and make this dream come true for her.  We realize that to raise the funds needed for her airfare, and stay plus incidentals in Israel make take some time and many donations...So we would like to start by putting in the seed money towards making this a gift of a lifetime for her.  I know that your contribution towards this fund will mean to world to her. Please contribute in any amount, it will all make a huge difference.
