And she’s off…on what is likely to be the greatest and most meaningful experience/summer of her life.
Her adventure begins with a 10-day trip on “Birthright Israel”.


For those of you who may not know, Birthright is a not-for-profit organization that offers free, organized trips to young Jewish adults (between the age of 18 and 26 years old). This incredible gift offers 10 jam-packed, fun filled days exploring Israel, combined with thrilling adventures, culture, history, education, growth and friendship.

Next up after Birthright, Rachel will spend an additional 5 weeks in Israel at an internship program through “Onward Israel”, working for an Architecture firm on their design team as she continues to work towards gaining experience for her University Degree in Interior Design and fulfilling her lifelong dream thereafter.

She will then return home for TWO whole days later in June before heading off to overnight camp as head staff for the remainder of the summer. The same place that became her second home during many of her adolescent years.


I am almost certain I will be an anxious mess while she embarks on the greatest and most meaningful adventure of her life (Rich is more than certain I will be an anxious mess) but nonetheless I am so beyond proud and excited for you Rachel.

I promised her I wouldn’t cry when we said goodbye…ok, so I may have told a little white lie, but who’s kidding who? Did she actually believe that wouldn’t happen? I honestly thought she knew me better than that by now 🤪.
Wishing you safe travels Rachel and have the bestest time ever!

**Just one final piece of motherly advice I want you to take with you on your travels and throughout your lifetime, “Be BOLD, Be BRAVE, Be YOU.”
