“One of the best days of my life was when I found out I was going to Israel. I had just finished university and had applied to a one-year program where 100 of us from North America went to Israel and got to experience different parts of Israel. When I was travelling from Tel Aviv to Eilat by bus, I remember seeing all the land that I passed, feeling that the land is our land, and what the Israelis have done with the land was a special moment. The main realization throughout the trip for me was that Israel really does belong to the Jewish people and how important it is to us, even if we don’t live there, have relatives there, or friends there. Even if we have no personal connection, it really is our land.”
