The trip, organized by Kraft and his wife Wendy, is part of a long family tradition of supporting Israel, one that spans generations…
…For Youkilis, who had long dreamed of visiting Israel, the trip was transformative.
“It has been one of the most eye-opening trips I’ve ever had in my life,” he shared. “From everything that Israel is about and stands for, it was truly a special trip to come here for my first time.”
