A seasoned hiker and nature lover, Ofner has a deep connection with the nature and topography of Israel that she has shared with Jews overseas as a Bnei Akiva shlicha (emissary). Raya directs the annual “Israel Trail Encounters” (Nifgashim B’Shvil), which she initiated with her husband as a living memorial to her son Avi, z”l, who was killed in the tragic 1997 helicopter crash.
