Excerpts from the eBook

On virtual travel in the Jewish world during and post Covid:

“While taking tours of museums, synagogues, and Jewish cemeteries online will never replace the feeling of seeing these sites in person, technology provides us with the great chance to explore Jewish heritage around the world without needing to step foot on a plane.”

On Jewish students studying abroad in the Middle East:

“Sometimes, our fear of the unknown, or stereotypes we have heard about other places such as the Middle East may cloud our ability to think about alternative countries where we can study abroad. While studying abroad in the Middle East is certainly not for everyone, it is absolutely a region to consider.”
