Israel, how I miss thee..

So, I have been thinking a lot this week about different things. I realized how much I missed certain things. Israel is one of those things. Fortunately I am hopefully going back to Israel over winter break, on an Advocacy Mission with AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). I am really excited and hopefully this will be an amazing 3rd trip to Israel, each one has been different.

The first time I was there I went with BBYO on the March of the Living. I spent a week in Poland visiting the concentration camps prior to flying to Israel, which was probably the most uplifting experience of my life.

The second time was on Birthright with SUNY Albany, which was insane because it was a trip sending me back home. Not to mention I made some amazing friends.

Now, hopefully for a third time to do what I want to do for the rest of my life and that is advocate on Israels behalf through lobbying.
