our Nissim Black event. 
Nissim came, via Zoom, 
and told his story about 
how he began with music 
and his spiritual awakening 
in the Jewish community. 
We were so fortunate to 
collaborate with Wayne 
State’s Black Student Union 
for this event and involve 
other groups on campus. 
Eventually, I became 
an Israeli American 
Council (IAC) Mishelanu 
ambassador, a position I 
still proudly hold and value 
dearly because as a non-
Jewish student I value the 
importance of coalition-
building. It is important to 
be able to educate others 
about the State of Israel 
and take the time to make 
an impact in our society. 
Change doesn’t happen 
overnight, but we can’t 
give up. We must be 
patient and remember our 
purpose. For me, I believe 
I was born to bring people 
together. Israel unites us 
all and this is our chance 
to make the necessary 
change needed in our 
communities. 
As John F. Kennedy once 
said, “Israel will endure 
and flourish. It is the child 
of hope and the home of 
the brave. It can neither 
be broken by adversity nor 
demoralized by success.” 
I believe that success 
only comes with pain 
and hard work, and I 
encourage us all to be 
brave and to always fight 
for what we believe in.
