“We met in Poland on March of Living at the end of our senior year of high school. After graduating high school, Yehoshua took a gap year in Israel to learn in Yeshiva, and I went off to the University of Pennsylvania. During that year, Yehoshua fell in love with the Land and began thinking about Aliyah. Despite not growing up in an orthodox home, I began exploring the Torah and mitzvot and even spent a summer during college studying in Israel as well. Together, as our love grew for each other, so did our love of Israel. We decided that after our wedding we would begin our lives together in the Land we now call home. We feel that Israel is where the Jewish people belong and where we are most able to express ourselves. We simply could not imagine being anywhere else!
