Dear Arts track
I just
wanted to say thank you to everyone. I grew in terms of my art, and I found myself in ways that I could never have experienced in America. I am very glad that I made
the decision to come to Israel. But even more so, I feel so
lucky to have had the privilege of being a part of the arts track group. More
than anything, you all, as a group, provided me with a sense of security and
comfort here in Israel. Within a larger group of
almost 40 WUJS
participants in Jerusalem, it was invaluable to have a smaller group with whom
I had so much in common. To be able to sing without fear, explore the Israeli art scene and do group
activities based around trust and creativity with fellow artists
was really special for me and a really important part of my Israel
experience. I'm honestly not sure what I would have done without it.
So,
thank you so much and I wish you all the best luck in the future. All of you are
so talented in our own ways and I look forward to hearing how far you've all
gone in the next few years.
With love,
Laura Stein
