I went with a friend to play a pickup frisbee game in Jerusalem’s Gan Sacher park last night. There was no game because nobody showed up.

Yom Ha’Shoa Holocaust Remembrance Day יום הזכרון לשואה ולגבורה. April 8, 2013. If only I could push their young minds up and out of the abysses, and into the here and now. I’m stuck in it, and I don’t know what to do. Today’s marchers have the chance to make this day theirs, just as I did five years ago. I want to tell them to go forth and feel how powerful they are. Realize that the lives of so many of us are nothing short of miraculous. What is (more aptly, was) Czechoslovakia? How do they live their l...

Seeing the world through blueberry eyes. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Author Archives: Jen Berman. September 15, 2013. Where have I been? Where am I going? These questions keep smacking me in the face when I look up, open my eyes, and shake my head in total disbelief that I am where I am. And where I’ve been is in the past. I was in Estonia 3 weeks ago. I was crying my not-so-tiny heart out on my friend’s shoulders in Latvia on August 23. My first work-related trip tomorrow. My hea...

Ashalim | Rebecca@22
https://rebeccaat22.wordpress.com/ashalim
This year, I am serving as a volunteer for Ashalim, the department dealing with children and youth at risk. I hope to make a difference in the lives of youth ages 13 and up by aiding the national effort in Israel to lower dropout rates from high school. More info about my work coming soon. Meanwhile, check out Ashalim’s website. Which I will also hopefully have a hand in updating…soon! For those who are curious about where my fieldwork might take me, check out this article.
