Outside of blogging for a minneapolis Jewish blog www.TCjewfolk.com, i started my own blog! http://eyestandwithisrael.wordpress.com/. Here is my first post:

My name is Sarah Ungerman. My love for Israel began in 2006 when my parents brought me for my Bat Mitzvah gift. Since then, i have been back two more times and have found myself to be attached to the land. Its beauty, history, and culture make Israel my peaceful abode.

After visiting Israel this summer for my third time, i felt obligated to share my zionism and continue to make a connection to the land from thousands of miles away. I was selected to be involved in the MZ teen Israel internship program, where I am an intern to help raise Israel awareness and to be an advocate. The MZ teen program is a national leadership program for 48 teens that recently returned from an Israel experience. Within my involvement in the MZ teen program, I share my personal experiences and viewpoints to my peers and community to help be a strong voice for Israel and the Jewish people.

This blog allows for others to see Israel through my eyes, and to learn about current Israeli issues, polotics, and culture. Read more posts at http://eyestandwithisrael.wordpress.com/
