Meeting Rabbi Schwartz | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Meeting Rabbi Schwartz

Hello to all of the participants of our trip (and your parents),

My name is Rabbi Yehoshua Dovid (YD) Schwartz and I'm a Rabbi at UIUC's campus working with the Jewish Education Team (J.E.T.). My wonderful wife Chava and our beautiful 3-year-old daughter Meira have been stateside for about a year, and before coming to Illinois, we lived in Israel for 10 years. I graduated from UCLA and am a native to California and I can't wait for some Israeli sun.

I can't wait for this trip and know that all of the participants are gonna have a great time. I wait to meet all of you and share this special experience. I believe that every Jewish student should have thier own unique Jewish journey, and that Israel is one of the most impactful parts of that experience.

See you all at our Ice Cream Social and then off to Israel!!!
