Welcome to new friends
So, basically here is me in a nutshell.
I'm on fellowship in Israel, (four actually) doing government, biodiversity, Chinese relations and Jewish leadership.
I have a law degree and a masters in Urban affairs.
I am an Israeli American. I love both my countries, but accept that they are flawed. I have friends who are post-Zionist, Zionist and one state solutioners. I have no problem with discussing anything on the subject, as long as we are respectful to one another. I hope to learn from you. I am politically active in an advocacy group for Israel, but I'm pretty much the left wing of it. Basically, I hope to be pro-Israel, Pro-Palestinian and pro-future. I support human rights for all in the region.
I am Jewish, non-denominational, raised Orthodox. Currently, I am an Unorthodox Jew. I believe faiths that teach goodness, kindness and mutual respect are wonderful in the eyes of the Creator, and atheists and non-believers to be people who are blessed to see the world differently than me, and who can teach me a lot.
I write for 2-3 publications, usually on Jewish stuff. I am working on various lit projects as well as fanfics. My favorite fandoms are Batman the Animated series, Teen Titans, Avatar the Last Airbender, Young Justice Animated series, Thor, Spiderman, Code Geass, Sherlock, and a few others. Still trying to complete some original novels.
I chair a student organization for conservative students, because I had a crush on the previous president. My own political views are still shifting and evolving, but I like hanging out with different groups just to listen. As I keep saying, you talk or suggest I learn, I'll listen, research and learn. There's a lot I don't know, due to my unique brain chemistry but I accept and hope to change that.
I was on the board of a few others, including military law, disability law, securities law and Hillel.
I take care of my grandparents and my niece and nephew. They are the lights of my life.
In my limited free time, I read a lot, write, watch really silly tv shows while I exercise, and visit with friends.
