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 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 MoreBefore I talk about my week in the West Bank, I have a disclaimer: I don’t really partake in the West Bank settlements conflict. Not because I don’t have feelings about my country, rather, because I love Israel so much, and the number of problems it has makes me too emotional and upset. Between outside […]
Read MoreHi from Israel! This is my first post in over two weeks, but only because it’s been a crazy, transcontinental, time-shifting two weeks. The Sunday before last, I boarded a plane to London, had breakfast in London, and then boarded another plane to Tel Aviv only an hour later. Three continents in twenty-four hours. It […]
