When did you go on a Birthright
Israel trip and with which organizer? How was it?: I traveled to Israel
through Shorashim in June 2016. I. Loved. It.
Why did you decide to go to Israel: My gf, Rachel, always
said we should go together. It worked out that two of our other gfs, Stephanie
and Melanie, were also trying to go at the same time. I had traveled to Israel
when I was 7 with my family, I was excited to create new memories as an
(mostly) adult with best friends.
What is your favorite trip memory: Being in Jerusalem was incredibly moving and
spiritual for me. I felt very connected to myself and Judaism while there.
Also, I was number 47/47 in our "let's make sure everyone is here
count off". The applause after saying "47"... well, it made my
trip :)
You are from: Northbrook, IL
Where are you living now: Chicago, IL
How do you pay the bills: I work at Sunstone Manufactured Housing Consultants -
we buy, sell and invest in Manufactured Home Communities and RV Parks.
Favorite food from Israel: ICED COFFEE. I think my next steps in life involve
opening up an Aroma in Chicago...
Something about me that is surprising but not really surprising: I am addicted
to smoothies and avocado toast.
