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.
