A great post grad year..on!

I was on the Masa teaching fellowship in its infancy in Ramla. It was the first run around for Masa and there were ups and downs, but I wouldn't have had it another way. The experience to be a part of "real Israel" and not just 10 days in Birthright were amazing. I was a part of the community and the school in which I worked. Just by being social in the community I made my own host families whom I still talk to today both Arab and Jewish.

This experience was truly one that changed my life. Now ITF has expanded to over 10 cities, and I would recommend to anyone looking to take a year to give back, expand their own horizons and learn more about all that Israel has to offer outside of the headlines.
