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 […]
Hi from Israel! Today, I wanted to share with you guys a few of the ways I’ve made my life healthier in the past few months. These aren’t drastic changes, and they’re not too difficult; chances are, you probably won’t even really notice them, until they yield positive results! 1. Sneak Attack! One of the […]
A few months ago, I did a series of posts about my vacation to London and Israel with my family. This weekend, I am going back to Israel, and I am so excited! This will be my first time going there for volunteer work, and I am so lucky to have the chance to give back […]
I have a few different trips coming up, and I am so excited!!!! Besides visiting my friends in New York, I’ve been stuck in Boston since November. Usually, my family goes away over Christmas, but our entire family came to visit us instead, so I am itching to get on a plane and go, go, go! […]

But some people, like my little sister, are not good packers. For them it is an anxiety-riddled task, always […]
This 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 […]
My 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 […]
