This is our chance to restore hope.
The residents of the Gaza Envelope have lost everything.
Now, together, we help them grow again
We invite you to join us and re-grow the affected Gaza Envelope communities.
Kibbutz Be'eri
Creating Healing Spaces for the Entire Community
What we’re doing:
Uprooted from their homes and temporarily resettled in Hazerim, the Be’eri community is transforming their pain into healing.
After creating hundreds of private gardens for each family — in collaboration with Birthright and Ventata — we now begin the next phase: building community-wide healing spaces in nature.
These spaces will include trees, trails, gathering spots, and open-air therapeutic areas — a true “green clinic” for body, soul, and community.
Project status
Scope
Establishing 3 community healing spaces in nature, located throughout the temporary settlement of Be’eri in Hazerim.
Establishment and maintenance budget:
- ₪500,000

Kibbutz Kfar Aza
A healing space for the community and a wonder forest for the children of Kibbutz Kfar Aza
What we’re doing:
After a devastating trauma, hundreds of families from Kfar Aza were suddenly relocated to Kibbutz Ruhama, facing uncertainty and pain.
Now, at the heart of Ruhama, we are building two intertwined sanctuaries of healing:
- A green communal space for adults
- A nature-based educational and therapeutic area for the children
These spaces will include tree plantings, therapeutic gardens, meditation paths, vegetable beds, fire circles, quiet benches, a forest classroom, a small stream and ecological pond, a learning greenhouse, mud and wood play areas, and more.
This land will hold their pain — and give them room to grow again. Together.
The Forest of Wonder is a gift of breath, safety, and belonging — a natural world where children can simply be children again.
Project status
Start of construction: May 2025
Scope
- Full outdoor healing and education zones
Establishment and maintenance budget:
Establishing an outdoor learning space incorporating therapeutic elements and play components.

Kibbutz Nir Oz
A Community Garden for New Growth
What we’re doing:
Temporarily relocated to Karmit Gat after the horrific events of October 7th, the Nir Oz community is now nurturing a garden of hope.
A green communal space is being built inside the kindergarten compound — including walking paths, rest benches, medicinal herbs, climbing arches, and a special Tree Nursery: one sapling per family, to be replanted once they return home.
This is more than soil and plants. This is a hug. A new root where everything was uprooted. A healing space that helps this community hold on, grow, and begin again.
Project status
Start of construction: April 2025
Scope
- A half-dunam area
- Creating a green healing space integrating trees, seedlings, and elements that support healing.
- Establishing a nursery for 500 trees.

The Forest of Renewal
A Living Memorial of Memory, Healing, and Hope
What we’re doing:
In the heart of Moshav Shuva, the Forest of Renewal is growing — a regenerative forest that turns grief into life.
Every tree planted will carry the name and story of a fallen hero. The land, which once absorbed blood and fire, will become a sanctuary of remembrance, resilience, and rebirth.
This forest will host retreats, therapy groups, and visits by bereaved families and the wider public. It will become a space of tourism, values, and healing — uniting the South with the rest of the country.
Led by Dr. Gedalya Fendel, a family physician who created an emergency clinic during the October 7th attacks, this project is deeply rooted in both tragedy and hope.

Start of construction: May 2025

The National Movement for Healing Israel through Nature
For over five years, Ventata has led hundreds of projects across Israel — planting trees, rebuilding gardens, and creating natural spaces of healing and connection.
With the help of thousands of volunteers and generous donors, we plant roots of resilience, community, and hope.
Our Impact:
In a time of pain and uncertainty, it is precisely the longing for home—the green garden and the sheltering trees—that opens a path to deep connection: between people, between communities, and with the land in which we are rooted.
A symbol that even from impermanence, profound meaning can emerge.
For five years, we have been active across the country, planting and creating therapeutic gardens and healing spaces in nature—within communities in need of healing, in rehabilitation and welfare institutions, in schools and neighborhoods.
We cultivate spaces of compassion and restoration, places born from the understanding that healing a person in crisis is directly tied to the healing and renewal of their community and environment.
The realization that one who sees a tree grow, and takes part in the act of planting, also grows and awakens to life.

Join the rehabilitation of the Gaza Envelope
Questions and Answers
What exactly will be done with my money?
Every donation goes directly to funding our six projects in the Gaza Envelope: tree planting, creating community gardens, rehabilitating green spaces, and coordinating volunteers and professionals on the ground.
Why should I donate specifically to garden and planting projects?
Nature and the land are proven tools for psychological and social healing. For uprooted communities left without homes or roots, a community garden, forest, or healing space offers a new beginning, deep therapy, and a sense of returning to life.
What do I receive in return?
Each donor receives a personal digital certificate of appreciation plus periodic updates on the progress of the project you supported. And of course, you’ll receive love and deep gratitude from the residents of the Gaza Envelope, who are healing, recovering, and growing anew thanks to your support.
Have you planted before? Is there proof of your activities?
Absolutely. The Vanta’at nonprofit has been active since 2019 and has led hundreds of projects across the country, including in schools, therapeutic centers, peripheral communities, the Gaza Envelope, and the north. On our website, you’ll find field documentation — photos, stories, testimonials, and videos.
Is this a one-time project or an ongoing initiative?
“Growing the Gaza Envelope” is a focused campaign running from May to June 2025, but it is part of the nonprofit’s broader, long-term efforts for rehabilitation and healing in Israel. Support can continue even after the campaign ends.
Can I choose which project to donate to?
No. All donations go into a shared fund aimed at enabling the realization of all six projects in the Gaza Envelope. We aim to reach an overall goal so that every community receives support and every part of the rehabilitation effort can move forward together.
Even if I knew the world would end tomorrow, I would plant a tree today in the Land of Israel.
