What is a fun fact about yourself?
I have purple hair as a reminder when I look in the mirror that my children have not taken over my entire existence and that I am still "me".
What are your words of wisdom for your future participants?
Take some time to try something new. Break out of your shell and explore new opportunities. This is an amazing gift and you should be able to start your own path every step along the way.
Anything else?
My favorite thing about Birthright is that it is an opportunity for Jewish adults (or pseudo adults) to find where they fit in the puzzle of modern day Jewish life and it creates a space where anyone who wants to explore their Jewish practice in a safe and nurturing environment can do just that.
