Jessica Jaffe (2009-10)

Jess, a 10-month Tikkun Olamer from 2009-10, was quoted in a Masa blog post:
 
"For Jessica Jaffe, 28, participating in the Tikun Olam program in Jaffa has broadened her worldview. 'This has been absolutely amazing. It’s such a special program that has really opened my eyes. I wanted to deepen my experience and do something outside my comfort zone, and this struck my interest in getting closer to my Jewish identity in a way that was not forced. This program fosters coexistence. You live and work in a mixed community with Arabs, Sudanese, Ethiopians and Jews,' she said. Before embarking on the post-graduate MASA program, Jaffee graduated from Rochester University and worked for five years in market research in New York."
