Naomi, Liev and their 2 sons paid a visit to the Western (Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem on Jun 15, 2009 where Liev wrapped himself in Tefillin and Naomi prayed with Samuel Kai before they headed North to the Galilee to plant a pistachio sapling tree with the Jewish National Fund, an environmental organization that was established in 1901 and has planted 240 million trees, built over 200 reservoirs and dams, developed over 250,000 acres of land, created more than 1,000 parks, provided the infrastructure for over 1,000 communities, brought life to the Negev Desert and helped in educating students around the word about Israel and the environment.
“This particular area is called Galilee,“ explained Liev. "And in this area, approximately 750,000 trees were destroyed in missile attacks. So what we are doing here today is called Project Renewal.“
The Fund is currently looking for donations to help them replant trees.
This trip marks the family’s first time in the Holy Land.

Such a cute baby boy, and a gorgeous mom! I envy this family. Help!
Beautiful! Thanks.
I think Samuel looks more like his dad while Sasha looks more like Naomi, just my opinion.
I hope Naomi was praying for peace at the Wall.
All the best to Naomi and her family! This is very brave.
