However, I also believe that Israel, like all countries, is not perfect. I went into my AIPAC experience hopeful, but also a little nervous. Would it be super biased? Would I feel singled out for being more liberal? Would I be called anti-Israel (as I have been called…

By Aaron Benyamini, 9th grade The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) Policy Conference is a yearly event that attracts people from all different backgrounds for one cause — Israel. Being a teen, Policy Conference surprised me in many different ways. Most adults and teens I have talked to see this event to be political event. I view it differently. I see it as a tremendous amount of different kinds of people — Jews, Muslims, Christians, people of color, Republicans, Democrats, anyone — coming from all around the world to support one cause. It is beautiful and very rare to…

By Eric Rachmani The annual Israel trip sponsored by David and Angela Nazarian is an extremely memorable trip that includes with intriguing activities, bonding with other Jewish teens, information about the outstanding history of Judaism and the Holy Land of Israel, and visiting some of the most significant landmarks in all of Israel; all compacted into one trip. In order to thoroughly appreciate the beauty of this trip, there were things that I am so glad I packed, or wish I packed, to maximize my enjoyment of this experience. First and foremost, a camera or electronic device that has the…

From as early as I can remember, the Holocaust has always been a part of my life. By this I mean that I cannot remember a time where I did not know what the Holocaust was and what it meant for the Jews. This being said, nothing about the Holocaust or the Jewish narrative in World War II ever truly resonated with me. It was so long ago, and I live in such a safe environment for Jews, I never had to think twice.
