Rhode Island-Israel Collaborative receives extended coverage by the Jewish Rhode Island newspaper

And, as I continually say to our board, “It’s not what we do, it’s what other people do as a result of our efforts.” We all volunteer, everyone on the board and myself. It takes a lot of my time, but I see it as a labor of love. Our mission is to help. If you call me and say, “Avi, I want to do something in Israel,” I’ll go to my board. We’ll help you.
