What’s your favorite ISRAEL21c article and why?
“Send a thank-you to Israeli disaster volunteers”
I love this article because I was so passionate about this project! The ISRAEL21c hackathon was one of the most amazing events I have ever been to. I learned so much, and my team created a website in just 12 hours. We sent hundreds of letters to the volunteers that helped all over the world.
What’s your favorite part about being a digital ambassador?
Getting to spread the positivity about Israel!
Favorite Israeli song?
“Ihiye Beseder” by Cafe Shahor Hazak

I absolutely love traveling! My next big trip is to Barcelona for a “Sports & Politics” study abroad.
I am the president of Jewish Arizonans on Campus (JAC) at ASU. I am also the leader of Jewnity Coalition, a committee of all of the Jewish leaders on campus where our goal is to make a more collective presence of the Jewish community.
What’s your favorite thing to do in Israel?
Tzfat [Safed] is my favorite city in the world. I felt so connected and spiritual while I was there.
