Elizabeth Ho traveled to the Ben Gurion University of the Negev for an intensive Hebrew immersion program during the summer. But the Jewish Studies major got a lot more than just language skills out of her first trip to Israel. She also had unique opportunities to experience the country's culture and meet Israelis of her own age, giving her the chance to learn about the country's society as well as the differences - and similarities - between the United States and Israel.
