Ellie: I was really excited to meet the Israelis. Honestly, I was worried they would be really judgmental and speak little-to-no english so communication would be hard. However, now that I met them I think they are all really nice and more friendly than most people I know.
Danielle: I was worried about being involved since everyone already knew each other so well. Once I met everyone I realized that everyone is really nice and I felt welcomed. They have their own traditions from their past with each other and I think it’ll be fun to learn them.
Neta/Tomer N: I was worried about my english. I thought everyone would seem more like American stereotypes, but instead no one fit into those stereotypes. Everyone is really nice and accepting. They seem well educated about Israelis and Israel in general. Everyone is really outgoing and welcoming.
Tomer S: I was worried about not being included since everyone knew each other. Everyone was very nice and welcoming, they shook our hands and told us their names. I’m having a good time so far.
Ellie: I really like the Tomers, Neta, and Danielle. They are all really kind and open – I half expected them to be closed off and only hanging out with each other but they are social butterflies!
