What My Family is Bringing Back to Israel
with Elkana Bar Eitan
After nearly 6 years in Rockville, our family is moving back to Israel. Our time in the US, taught us to appreciate the strength of the Jewish community, the importance of egalitarian services, and the critical support that Israel receives from overseas. Our years in the US also taught us the importance of hard work and dedication and the amazing opportunities that the US offers in terms of financial prosperity and individual freedom. Choosing between Israel and the USA is very hard but we decided to continue our families journey in the state of the Jewish people.
