Where is tamir cohen from

I am one of the few Aardvark students who has been through some college already. My decision to come to Israel has been one of the best decisions of my life.

Coming from an orthodox background, I have always had a strong love of Israel, but I got a little lost down the line growing up. I went to a Yeshiva day school until 8th grade; I started to question religion and God in 7th grade.

I was then pulled out of a Jewish school for high school; I went to a magnet high school. The secular education was amazing, but I had no Judaic classes at all. At first I blew him off, but then I went to shabbat dinner at his house. I went every shabbat after that, and will continue to go when I return home. After the school year ended, Rabbi Greenberg joined me and a few of my friends from Monmouth University on a Birthright trip. This past summer, he was inspired by his uncle to participate in the Daf Yomi.

The Daf Yomi is a worldwide study experience of learning one page of the Gemara every day. Under this regimen, the entire Talmud is completed in approximately seven years. Upon completion of the cycle, an event called Siyum HaShas celebrating the culmination of the cycle of learning takes place around the globe with tens of thousands within the Jewish community bringing a feeling of closeness and international unification.

Last summer he worked with his dad and thoroughly enjoyed it. He says he feels he could express his creative self through building and management and in his usual point of view, make it what he wants. He looks forward to furthering his role next summer. In addition to his more light and fun hobbies of basketball, football and learning to cook, he has begun to invest on his own.

Tamir does all kinds of research on how to find a good stock, decide to invest and generously shares his info with his classmates. Sharing is important to Tamir spurring him to spend time helping others as a volunteer in Friendship Circle.

Tamir has done quite a bit of traveling with his family including Thailand, Morocco, spending a Passover in Spain, and having his Bar Mitzvah in Israel. He is fascinated by experiencing Jewish culture in different countries seeing differences in the people but also the similarities and feeling the universal Judaic connection. On a light note, something very few people know and now everyone will know… is that Tamir loves to type!

Cohen said much of his inspiration comes from his family. My great-grandfather too. His journal is insane. I took a lot of his inspiration. Tamir Cohen worked as a digital communications intern at the non-profit Israel Policy Forum.
