Question

an essay on crystals in europe

Answer 1

crystals in europe  while attending Krieger Schechter Day School, a Jewish school in Pikesville, Maryland, when I first began to learn about Zionism and Israel. I especially remember the image of Theodor Herzl leaning over a balcony at the Fifth Zionist Congress, and the stories of his trips across Europe to persuade world leaders to give the Jewish people a homeland. What fascinated me most was learning about the archeological evidence tracing the history of the Jewish people to the land of Israel. I loved looking at pictures of Masada, the Kotel, and any ancient site that involved the history of the Jewish people. After my first trip to Israel in 8th grade and getting to see everything first hand, I began to see my own history in the ancient sites. For me, my love of history and my love of my religion and culture gave me a personal connection to Zionism. I see this land as the land my ancestors died for, a safe haven, and a fascinating window into the ancient lives of the Jewish people, as well as many other cultures. With a degree in Historic Preservation from the University of Mary Washington (Fredericksburg, Virginia), I have gained experience in archeology, cultural resource management, and museums studies. In the summer of 2013 I interned at the National Museum of American Jewish History (Philadelphia, PA), where I was able to learn more about my culture and develop my personal connection with Zionism.
