Answers:

Keren Brown:

1.    I hope to make Israel a home, instead of just a headline in the news.

2.    To increase Hagalil’s ahavat Tzion in innovative ways that haven’t been tried before. I want to put more focus on Israel’s rich and exciting history as well as looking at what makes it tick right now, such as learning about the different cultures, ethnicities and religions that inhabit its borders.

3.    My favorite word is often mistakenly thought of as the most simple, yet it has a lesson one should always carry. “Shalom” means “hello”, “goodbye”, and “peace,” teaching the world that no matter whether we are watching someone arrive or exit, it should be in a friendly and peaceful manner.
