Coby Engelhart

Where are you from/where do you currently live?

Born and raised in Illinois.

What is your favorite place in Israel?

 My favorite places to visit in Israel are nature trails and parks; either the lush greenery of the North, or the stark, dry, white of the South.

What is a fun fact about yourself?

I love watermelon popsicles. 

What are your words of wisdom for your future participants?

It's all about the Israelis. Shorashim has been running cross-cultural programs in Israel for North Americans and Israelis for decades. They have been able to apply their successful model to the Birthright format, and the result is an authentic, one-of-a-kind experience.

What is a fun fact about yourself?

Two summers ago, I lived on a farm in Kaposvar, Hungary and built a chicken coop!

What are your words of wisdom for your future participants?

Question everything. Israel is such an intricately complex place that everything and everyone has a story. Make the most out of every moment by asking questions, hearing stories, and having an open mind. Don't leave any rock unturned.

Also, most important word you'll learn: Mazgan (air conditioner)
