My name is Naama. I live in Kfar Hogla which is a small village in Emek Hefer, near Hadera (on the way from Tel Aviv to Haifa). I have a 20-year-old brother, Yiftach, and two younger sisters, Ophir, who is 12, and Ella, who is 9. My favorite classes in school are chemistry, art, and literature. Since I was 14, I have worked as a youth counselor at B'nai HaMoshavim, an Israeli youth movement. In my free time, I like to go to the theatre, hike and travel, snowboard, do art, cooking and read. I intend to go to a pilots' course when I am drafted into the Israeli army. For the past year, I did intensive paramilitary training (coed), including a leadership workshop. I love very much puzzles and thinking and dilemma games. I also like very much outdoor activities. I decided to become a Young Emissary because I believe that by this partnership, I can help to strengthen the links between American Jewish communities and Israel.
