B’nai Mitzvahs, Boureka Baking and Bimbas
B’nai Mitzvahs, Boureka baking and Bimbas: participants on the 2016 Summer Family Mission encountered all three over the past week traveling through Israel. Mission participants met with members of the Y-Team, a championship robotics group from Yerucham, Federation’s partnership city in the Negev. They helped build, and subsequently provide funding for, several Bimbas, which are small, mechanical toy cars that have been adapted specifically for children with physical disabilities. The Miami-Yerucham Partnership supports the robotics team in Yerucham and is bringing numerous robotics programs to Miami utilizing the expertise of the Y-Team.
