5/28/24 Revital's Hamal is a non-profit organization formed on October 7th 2023. The founder Revital Ben Yosef left her corporate career to fund her mission to serve up food, love and support for soldiers. https://my.israelgives.org/en/fundme/Revitals_Hamal
Revital explains to us what we will be doing and how the Hamal serves the soldiers at this make shift rest area (Shuva Junction) near the Gaza border. For many soldiers this is their last home cooked meal before going on duty and for others it is a meeting place when they are able to come out off duty.
Our first act of duty was to wash the dishes at a near by kibbutz because the water has been shut off unexpectedly.

Ruins of the "Palace of the Procurators" where the apostle Paul was imprisoned for over two years. And where he made his famous speech before Felix and Festus. (recorded in Acts 23-26)
