How did you hear about this WUJS Israel program?
Birthright Next. Birthright Israel NEXT: Get Back to Israel
What responsibilities will you have during this internship?
I work as head of international correspondence for the Association for Independent Theatre Creators in Israel (EVE). My main responsibilities include getting in contact with international theatre, puppet and dance festivals around the world promoting Israeli theatre and submitting plays and pieces from the creators we represent.
What are your goals for this internship program?
I hope to get international theatre experience, broaden my cultural understanding and learn Hebrew.
Have you had any difficulties settling in?
No, but people stop me on the street/bus and ask me random things in Hebrew all the time for some reason and I probably look like a moron as I stare at them trying to remember how to say "I don't speak Hebrew..."
What did your friends say when you told them your plan to come to Israel?
Be safe and enjoy! I'm jealous!
Important Dates:
Israeli International Theatre Exposure - Dec 7th-9th
