Degree: B.A in Communication and Public Relations
Miriam is a recent college graduate from the University of Maryland. She is currently participating in the WUJS Peace and Social Justice Program. While attending university Miriam was a participant on Taglit Birthright Israel in 2007."I chose to come on WUJS because I was looking to take a break before getting a job or applying to graduate programs. I realized that this would be the only time in my life where I would be free enough to spend 6 months in Israel. I wanted to open my eyes to a culture that is part of me, but I have yet to experience. I like that WUJS is a real Israel experience. Each hike and field trip exposes us to the different aspects of Israeli society. You get the Judaism, Zionism and the culture". Miriam is doing her PSJ internship with an Israel Youth Group called Tzameret.
