Perseverance at the Gilboa

I think it’s really interesting to observe the differences between Israelis and Americans...

Israeli and American teenagers are very similar.

I have also found the language barrier to actually be a really good learning experience...

Being an American in Israel is less difficult than I expected.

I started off the weekend by leaving to spend Shabbat with family friends.

We started off the week at a Crusade castle.

It felt like we were hardly on campus yet we covered so much ground as far as Israeli history!

At precisely 3:30 am this Sunday morning we landed back home in Israel, and I could not say I have felt happier.

I’m Amy Shugar and I live in Phoenix, Arizona.

I am now almost two weeks into my Israel experience and I could not be having a better time.

When you come to another country, there are bound to be cultural differences.

To begin, I want to say that I love Israel and the Israeli people so much.

After spending a good amount of time here in Israel, I have noticed that there are many cultural differences and similarities between Americans and Israelis.

When I go off campus, I do feel like I am in Israel, and I love it.

We are the thing that keeps Israel going.
