Elana Eydelman attended the
NCSY - Israel in Depth program. She
said, “Israel is the Jewish home where
we are always welcome. Being a
Zionist is wanting to feel closer to the
land of Israel, the people, the culture,
the environment, and being proud of
Israel and being Jewish.”
Rachel Luzer also attended the
NCSY - Israel in Depth program.
Rachel said, “I want to visit Israel to
experience, to touch, and to see many
of those places I have spent my entire
life learning about. The Kotel and
Rachel’s grave are two of the many
historically important sites to me.”
Aviva Itskowitz attended the NCSY
- Michletet program. Aviva said, “Israel
is a place where Jews and Judaism can
an outsider or a minority as in other
countries. Zionism is expressing a love
for Israel and showing how important it
is for the survival of the Jewish people.”
