Meet Michal


Michal moved in on Sunday and is staying with us for three weeks as a camp counselor at the JCC. She's an Israeli cultural specialist and will teach her campers all about food, dancing, music and more.

It's great having her here and is fascinating talking with her about all kinds of things - politics, life in Israel, America's culture (the good & the bad), music, art, food and on and on.

For her first dinner with us, we took her to Little Italy. We walked around after dinnner taking it all in from her perspective.

We have lots of plans for Michal before she moves to her next host family for another three weeks. We found out the other two host families are good friends of ours, so the transition will be easy.

A word to the wise - don't make her mad - she was an artillery trainer in the IDF and can wipe you off the map with this - it's a mobile Israeli cannon.
