JH Israel is the American nonprofit that supports Israel’s National Leadership Center in Ariel. In 2010, Heather, in partnership with former Ariel Mayor Ron Nachman, built and established the National Leadership Center (NLC). Today the NLC hosts groundbreaking programs that have given more than 85,000 Israeli and Arab youth the opportunity to meet and participate in unparalleled experiential learning adventures.
USIEA is a nonpartisan organization that educates and serves senior government leaders to advance important dialogue and cooperation between the United States and Israel. Since 2011, Heather has led advanced, educational tours for senior members of Congress to Israel. USIEA connects U.S. government leaders with Israel’s leaders and experts on issues related to defense and security, energy, technology, economic cooperation, and agriculture.

This is not summer camp. We don’t do archery or crafts, but instead offer you the chance to try some new adventures with white-water rafting, back-country hiking, mountain climbing, biking and more! We always say, “Fun First!”
Our motto at JH Ranch: “I heard and I forgot, I saw and I remembered, I did and I understood.”
