It was very special to be here during Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut and share these meaningful days with you, to celebrate holidays in different ways and try new dishes that I never had (hello gefilte fish, borscht, and kugel) and to make my favorite recipes with you. I experienced a different kind of culture, and enjoyed every second of it. It brought me such joy to visit every Hebrew school, every Sunday, during the past two years.
