“Herzliah is where I truly cultivated my Jewish identity and learned what it meant to be Jewish from all different perspectives, cultures, and customs. I had friends from Morocco, Russia, and Israel, and I was able to learn about their particular customs and traditions, which has made me appreciate the Jewish religion and culture even more.
There’s so many of us, all with different backgrounds, mindsets, and ideas of what it means to be Jewish, but at the end of day we all come together as one, regardless of these differences. The fact that I was able to learn this at such a young age has allowed me to appreciate diversity and the true strength of our community.”
