<div>Hi tribe! Finally, after much delay, my first trip to Israel is imminent. Here, you'll find a combined fundraiser - including any past donations (Venmo, Honeyfund), and all updates will happen here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm Bobby Apperson, and I've never been to the motherland.
</div>
<div>I discovered I was Jewish later in life and formally converted during COVID.
</div>
<div>Between that and much moving around—I just got settled into New York City—I'm finally ready to pull the trigger!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will go to Israel for a short first foray to VOLUNTEER, LEARN, CONNECT, and ABSORB. I will document the journey in full here, as well as @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/doingjewish/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">doingjewish on Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.doingjewish.blog/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Doing Jewish Blog</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I shuttered my small business one year ago, so I'm recovering from that still.
</div>
<div>With all that in mind and my part-time work in the Jewish world, any support you give here goes a long way.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for all your support, encouragement, and shares, especially during this difficult time. I have included an initial, doable goal of $1,800 and hope to surpass that ($3,600 would be AMAZING).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Am Israel Chai.
