"Before Tevel b'Tzedek I didn't really have a Jewish identity. I had a very strong Israeli identity but it wasn't really clear to me what it
meant to be Jewish. And now, probably for the first time in my life, I do kind of feel Jewish, in a very good way and its great coming home with

"I learned about Nepal through my profession, nursing, and it was not always easy. We are talking about a completely different definition of a hospital, and of public health. People are too caught up in the struggle for existence--finding food and a place to eat—to devote time and resources to health. I gained a new perspective on life and death, health and sickness, wealth and poverty."
Rivka Noam, 60, Registered Nurse
"The classes on globalization gave me a new perspective through which to meditate on the way the world works. I began to try to understand where I fit in the world, as a human being and an Israeli."

professionalism and thoughtfulness exhibited by Tevel b’Tzedek. For us Tevel b’Tzedek has become a benchmark for this type of work against
which we measure other organizations.”

“The warm, pluralistic Jewish atmosphere in Tevel b’Tzedek is creating a generation of Israelis and Jews who have experienced the deepening of their Jewish identity as a foundation, not an impediment, to work for the betterment of mankind.”
Natan Scharansky
“Tevel b’Tzedek is one of the boldest and most comprehensive programs among the many new Jewish social justice projects that embrace the concept of tikkun olam” The Jerusalem Report
“I am happy to say that Tevel b'Tzedek is an idea that has had a positive impression on Nepalese. Tevel b'Tzedek brought people who exhibit very high levels of ability and idealism. They are actually having an impact here.“
Dan Stav, Israeli Ambassador to Nepal
“The organization manages to attract young, bright, enthusiastic Israelis and non-Israelis. Tevel b’Tzedek empowers and encourages the Bogrim (alumni) to continue their activism over here in Israel. I am a great believer in Tevel b'Tzedek, its ideas and its leaders. It is one of the finest programs I have ever come across.”
