Graduates share their story

Noa: I've been a coordinator of the partnership between Cramim school and Temple Beth El for the past 8 years. I've been in Rochester twice with the delegation. Throughout those years, I've gained friends and family who are my home away from home, found a common dream, and fell in love with the partnership. I invite you all to take part in this amazing opportunity to connect with people, places, and hearts.

I joined the project 13 years ago and since then I am the coordinator of the project in my school "Asif". To begin with, on a personal level, this project has become a part of me and my family's life. I flew to Rochester with the delegation twice and made so many dear friends. I learned so much about the warm Jewish community and the educational system in the USA. I hosted so many people from the partnership and was so proud to show them my beautiful country. As a teacher I have the honor of making my students "young ambassadors" of Israel. I teach 5th and 6th graders and they are very excited to have friends from Thornel. We have many joined projects together and they get to tell them about their family, their school, and their country. Liat
