Jamie Berger '14 (Tzafon)

My Israel story starts on a plane from Poland in the wee hours of the morning next to an enthusiastic boy. Right when I saw the skyline of Tel Aviv, I knew that I was home. For the next four weeks, I explored every cave and market corner with 44 other pilgrims. From conquering Masada to cooling off in Ein Gedi to sleeping under the stars in the Negev, I knew I had found my home and my first love. My Israel story hasn't ended yet though; I still dream about it every night and yearn for it every day.
