an honest lifestyle
I am home, y’all! I just got back yesterday morning from a volunteer mission in my homeland, Israel, and it was absolutely incredible. I intern for an organization called Jewish National Fund, and they do all kinds of projects in Israel, America, and all over to make the world a better place for Jews and […]
Read MoreThis has not been an easy week. The end of summer always makes me really sad, and to make it about a billion times worse, my little sister left for Israel on Sunday. For nine months. We had an amazing vacation together on the Cape, and I tried to make our last few weeks together memorable […]

One of the first questions people ask me about my times in Israel is, “Which city do you love more: Jerusalem or Tel Aviv?” That is the ultimate apples and oranges kind of question. There really is no comparing Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Jerusalem is teeming with history, ancient ruins, beautiful little synagogues, mosques, and […]

A recap of my recent trip to Israel. It was so good to be home!
Read MoreMy last post was December 16, 2013, and I was still in Israel. Today is January 19, 2014, a whole new year, a different country, and a lot of changes. In the past month, I’ve been in Israel, England, and America. I’ve had a hard time readjusting to life at home, but I’m excited for […]
Read MoreOne week left in Israel as of today. It’s surreal. I feel like I’ve just gotten here, and I’m about to pack up and leave again. My emotions are a jumble; I can’t imagine leaving my friends and my love, but Boston is calling to me. Israel is my homeland, but Boston is my home. […]
Read MoreAs of today, I have three weeks left in Israel. I can’t decide if I’m more devastated to leave, or thrilled to come home. I find the promise of family, friends, holiday cheer, and my own car and bed to be very alluring, but I can’t imagine leaving the people I’ve come to love here […]
Read MoreOne of the best parts about being on a different continent is Israel’s proximity to other countries. It is so expensive to travel from America to anywhere, but within Europe and the Middle East, you can fly country-to-country for much cheaper. So when I decided to spend the semester in Israel, my parents told me […]
Read MoreIt’s true what they say, time flies when you’re having fun. A few hiccups aside, I am beyond happy here, and dreading it all ending. That being said, here are a few photos post-North Trip through Halloween and the past week or so… Breakfast for dinner obviously means mimosas. Enjoying beach weekends… thank god for […]
Read MoreSo far, things are pretty great here. My classes are interesting, I’ve made some great friends, and have been taking advantage of everything Tel Aviv has to offer. But this isn’t a Tel Aviv post. Last weekend, my program took us on a trip to northern Israel. It was so nice to be back in […]
