Jerusalemites: Alona's story

Alona was sitting on the bench near the Jerusalem Theatre. I approached her to find out who she was. “I grew up in Kfar Saba. In my military service I was a tour guide in Jerusalem and its surroundings. I became familiar with Jerusalem and that was the reason I moved to the city after my military service. A few years later I did my degree at Hebrew University in the history of Israel and a second one in sociology and anthropology. Those subjects made me connect to Jerusalem and Israel itself. During that time I was guiding tours and living at Shuk Mahane Yehuda, in the middle of it all, so you can imagine it was a really good time for me! Since then I have kept working and trying to expand my work all the time. I'm writing programs, I'm doing consulting for schools… this is my connection, a big connection to the city. Jerusalem is a great place, it has a lot to offer, festivals, marathons… but at the same time is very complex financially. The city is great for a single person but when I think of living a family life I feel I will look for something more rural, more stable because I always had a dream to live in the countryside, and if I can find something near Jerusalem I will live my dreams!” Normal 0 21 false false false PL X-NONE HE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:Standardowy; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii- mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi- mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-language:EN-US; mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;}
