When she was a freshman in high school, a group of boys drew swastikas on her Israeli flag on Multicultural Day.
It was the first time she had ever experienced antisemitism - and instead of letting it silence her, she turned the pain into art.
"Being Jewish to me is about carrying on my history," she says. "My grandparents were Holocaust survivors. They fought so hard to survive, and it's my job to continue this legacy." Today, she is Miss Israel - and this November, she will represent Israel on the international stage at Miss Universe in Puerto Rico.
As a StandWithUs High School Fellow, she found her voice, her confidence, and her conviction. Now she will carry that same pride onto one of the world's biggest stages.
