Each year, Arizona State University’s Religious Studies Department sends our student to study abroad at the premier environmental research facility of our planet, the Arava Institute of Ben Gurion University, located within the Negev of Israel.

Bob Ramsey and Jenny Norton were grateful to be honored as they received JEWISH NATIONAL FUND’S TREE OF LIFE lifetime achievement award for a lifetime of support for Eretz Israel. (Jenny’s dad, Ralph Silbert Norton had been a penpal/corresponder with David Ben Gurion and a JNF supporter since 1948).
Jenny Norton visited with the JNF guests about sharing moments.
It was a privilege for Jenny and Bob to be honored on October 24, 2013 at ADL’s annual Torch of Liberty Awards with the “Mayor Al Brooks Community Leadership Award”. This award commemorates of the life and accomplishments of Mr. Brooks, the first Jewish Mayor of Mesa. The honor was established to pay tribute to those who participate in humanitarian concerns and activism that exemplify the life of the Mayor and the principles of the ADL.
