By Eric Eingold, Ma'ase Olam North American Manager

 

After having been in Israel for a whirlwind two weeks on a Birthright tour, I was excited to finally get to work. Since September, I’ve worked as the North American Manager for Ma’ase Olam.

 

Ma’ase Olam grounds its work in providing access to quality education, and currently is overseeing the work of a group of Israel Teaching Fellows in a city called Rehovot, just outside Tel Aviv.

 

While there, I had the privilege of witnessing what the day-to-day experience of teaching English in Israeli schools is like. It was intense, beautiful, hilarious, and awe-inspiring. I visited two schools Monday morning, January 23rd, 2012.
