My love for Israel began with my Bar Mitzvah which I chose to have in Israel. Despite the bad food, (for this 13-year-old American, hummus, matbucha, and eggplant were not my idea of ‘yummy’), it was a life-changing event which spurred a deep interest and bond with Israel. Everyone has their own picture of what Israel is before their first trip, but for me Israel looked like the Sahara Desert with houses made of stones from the Western Wall. For some, this Aladdin-like vision of Israel can continue way past childhood. So I entered this field to be your magic carpet ride throughout Israel, and show you the real deal!"
