Adventures and Love

This post first appeared on Israel Campus Roundtable. After several more workdays, grocery runs in the shuk (market), and Shabbatot in Jerusalem, I finally made my way to the old city to see the light show.

Jerusalem Beginnings

This post first appeared on Israel Campus Roundtable. I’ve already learned so much on the Onward program including where to find the cheapest delicious falafel, how to travel from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, and not to eat Marzipan rugelach while typing a blog post because chocolate will get on your computer keys. On the bus […]
