Erica, age 17, moved to Ra'anana, Israel three years ago with her family from Hollywood, Florida. She is the oldest in her family. In Israel, religious young women, in lieu of serving in the army have the option to do National Service (Sherut Leumi) for a government recognized organization that is contributing to the betterment of Israeli society.
As an OE volunteer, Erica saw firsthand the important work of OE, "when I first started looking at options for Sherut Leumi, I was overwhelmed with choices, but when I went to Sderot on Purim to give mishloach manot to families I knew I wanted to help terror victims. I am so happy that I decided to work for Operation Embrace."
