“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” - J.R.R. Tolkien in The Fellowship of the Ring

Why did you choose to volunteer with ENP?
I would like to make a positive impact on the world and ENP offered the opportunity to do that several times over.
What do you hope to achieve through your experience with ENP?
In addition to making a positive impact, I love to learn about other cultures and their history. Through ENP I will gain exposure to Ethiopian Jewish Culture in a way I would never be able to otherwise.
What do you like to do when you are not volunteering?
I love to explore different places around Israel, especially historical sites. I also spend lots of time hanging out with my friends from my university who are also staying in Israel for the summer.
What is your favorite food in Israel?
I love shawarma.
What do you love about Israel?
It feels like home to me, as a Jew, and is there as a home to all Jews in the Diaspora.
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Hard to choose, but I love anything that has lemon flavor.
