"There was never any doubt in my mind that I would go to Israel, with the NFTY L'dor V'dor Program, the summer I was entering my junior year of high school. The only obstacle in front of me was paying for this great trip to Israel. Many of my friends living in New York and Boston told me to ask my local Jewish Federation for their support; they had received generous scholarships from their community Federation. I gave it a try and the Jewish Federation of Howard County came through! The funding they gave me enabled me to travel to Israel and the trip changed many aspects of my life. Not only did I connect more with my Judaism and the State of Israel, my worldview changed dramatically. Today, as a freshman at Dickinson College, I am taking Modern Hebrew and I am considering a major in Middle Eastern Studies. I am aching so badly to return to Israel that I may do a summer program in 2009 or study abroad for my junior year. My trip to Israel shaped my Jewish Identity and none of it would have been possible without the financial support of my community."

Thank you, Terri Soifer
