I'm a Jewish-American from Berkeley, California, who made Aliyah and then decided that Jewish identity outside of Israel was more my jam. I am passionate about Hebrew as a connector/Lingua Franca of Jewish people around the world, eager to enable relationships between Israelis and Hulniks through cultural exchange, and very concerned about empathy, plastic waste, gun violence, apathy, human rights, corruption, and anything threatening the livelihood of our communities, particularly the younger and oldest generations. I put that out there as an invitation to talk about The Work we do, or The World we live in: whatever feels more valuable to you at the moment. I think none of what we do exists in a vacuum and we should be talking about it all.
