Miri’s Reflections

Agudas Achim Congregation

Prior to joining the Jewish Agency, Miri worked as a social worker at the Summit Institute in Israel, assisting foster families all across the Negev area. She is finishing a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at Tel Aviv University, and holds a BA in Social Work from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. She served in the IDF’s Education Corps as a commander at “Nativ”, the military program for soldiers who go through Jewish conversion during their service. Prior to moving to Alexandria, she and her husband Amir, a journalist, lived in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, situated directly on Israel’s border with Gaza.
