Elana Nemitoff completed her first year of Rabbinical school at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Jerusalem, and is excited to be taking a year off in order to improve her Hebrew and explore the landscape of Judaism in Israel. Having received a B.A. in psychology from Washington University in St Louis in 2012, Elana is working with kids with special needs. Hailing from Kansas City, Kansas, Elana is thrilled for the opportunity to continue exploring the ger in Israel, including who they are and how they fit into the quilt of civil society life. Elana has spent the last three summers working at the URJ Goldman Union Camp Institute (GUCI), in Zionsville IN.
