Racheli Ochs is from Passaic, NJ, and is studying marketing in Stern College for Women. She attended Bruriah High School before spending her incredible year in Israel at Michlalah. Racheli is so excited to spend her first summer on Michlelet teaching Torah and making a kosher with the girls! The girls in Racheli’s Chaburah are Mindy Kagan (TAG), Talia Bennet (SKA), Penina Horowitz (Hadar), Sari Kirschenbaum (TAG), Ayelet Mandel (SKA) and Lilli Hirt (MHS). Racheli’s Chaburah is called “What is Your Spiritual Makeup.” The goal of the Chaburah is to study different kiddos in order to identify areas in our lives which we would like to work on, keeping in mind that the most durable growth is a growth that is built step by step. Our goal is to gain a clearer understanding of ourselves and how to channel our strengths and embrace our critical unique roles in Klal Yisrael. B’Ezras Hashem, we hope this experience can have application for the rest of our lives.
