Getting back to Jim's vacation suggestion, though, I remembered that we do have an account for her in the Gift of Israel savings plan. That is a special account that we contribute to each year and there is a matching funds program that adds money to the account. The money is specifically earmarked for a future trip to Israel. We could suggest that people contribute money toward that account. I'll have to run that by her and mom.
