Israel Affairs
My name is Eden Strassburg and I am honored to serve as your 2013 Israel Affairs Vice President. Israel is not just a country to me, it is a place that is full of culture and security; it’s home.
The second semester of my Sophomore year, I went on a program called Tichon Ramah Yerushalayim. While on the program I learned about the culture and history of Israel and decided that since I loved it so much, I wanted to bring it back to USY! It is because of my time in Israel that I have found my voice. My goal as the 2013 Israel Affairs Vice President is to help USYers find their voice along with their connection to the Holy Land.
Everyday I read multiple news sources so that way I know I am getting more coverage on a story. My favorite sites are www.ynetnews.com and www.jpost.com.
B’ahava USY,
Eden Strassburg
2013 USY Israel Affairs Vice President
