Visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
By: Justin Pollack- Boca Raton, FL
This week, our group had the honor and pleasure of meeting with various representatives from the Israeli Government. We met with spokesmen from both the Foreign Ministry, as well as the Office of the Prime Minister. Specifically, I would like to touch on our meeting with Mark Regev, spokesman for the Prime Minister.
Our meeting lasted a little over an hour, and was perhaps one of the most amazing and insightful times during our program here. The insight that Mr. Regev gave us into his job as a Public Policy spokesman was well beyond anything we could have learned or read about in a classroom with a "typical teacher". Not to mention the fact that it is absolutely amazing that a person as high up as Mr. Regev in the Israeli government would take time out of his busy day to meet with a group of 20 students from all over the world.
Opportunities like these do not come along very often, and I am very happy to have been a part of it.
