I’ve been back in Colorado for a little over 24 hours now. It’s pretty thrilling being home, especially after six months away. However the past 24 hours have also given me the chance to reflect on the past six months, especially on the month I spent wandering around Europe.

Recently I had the opportunity to attend the Masa global leadership summit, an event… Read more →
Sorry about the lack of updates everyone. Life here has become chaotic in the past month. I officially started work on the 6th of October, so I have not had a lot of time for personal writing. I figured I would use this opportunity to get you up to speed on what I’ve been doing. My usual work week is… Read more →
Hello everyone. The past week since my last update has been a chaotic one. My program took us up north for 3 days so that we could see more of the country, which involved learning more about the conflict between Palestinian Israelis and the government, as well as hiking, and rafting. We also got the opportunity to learn more about… Read more →
This post is a simple update on the situation here in Israel. As I am sure many of you have seen the past few days have been extremely violent, with 4 people dead and several more injured on the Israeli side.
