Aliza Hersch is from Woodmere, NY, went to SKA for high school, spent a year in MMY, and is now studying in Stern College. Aliza is back for her second summer as a madricha and is having an incredible time being able to give back to the program that made such an impact on her as a camper!
Aliza’s chaburah is called “Life is a Highway: Your Road Trip to Greatness.” The chaburah takes different aspects of a road trip and uses to them impart a variety of life lessons and values. Some examples include: checking the weather corresponding to the power of perspective, pot holes and the impact of the small things in life, patience through traffic, and car music teaching the value in every individual. Aliza loves getting to learn with and from the girls in her chaburah, and hopes the lessons they learn together can serve as guiding perspectives through each of their personal life journeys!
Aliza’s feels so privileged to have these amazing girls in her homeroom: Dina Amos (Staten Island, NY), Tova Adam (Passaic, NJ), Elisheva Glatt (Woodmere, NY), Aviva Itskowitz (Pittsburgh, PA), Huvie Travis (Baltimore, MD)
If you could take a road trip anywhere in the world where would it be?
Tova: I would like to take a road trip around all the 50 states because they are just beautiful places. The US is where I’m from and I want to see the places I grew up in
Dina: I would love to do a road trip all over America through Canada then finally go to Alaska to see the northern lights. I would love to tour America because I feel like every state is a different country, Canada because the people are probably very nice, and the landscape is clean and stunning. Then Alaska because I love the cold and the northern lights are probably awesome
Elisheva: I would want to go on a road trip around Europe because I’ve never been there and there are a lot of interesting things to see and do there
Aviva: I would want to take a road trip through Europe because I would want to see where my grandparents and my family came from and grew up/lived
Huvie: I would like to tour all over Asia because I’ve never been there before
