By JERUSALEM POST STAFFHaya Korotnika(photo credit: )ABOUT YOU >>>Age: 16
Residence: Currently, Germany
Married? With children? Not yet
Current occupation: Student
Dream job/career: Diplomat or theologian
What are you most proud of: None of the things I gained or love were entirely caused by me - how can I be proud of them then?
Religious affiliation / observance: Let's call it Jewish "modern orthodox". Mostly I can't define it even myself
Last person / party I voted for: Not allowed to vote yet and if I was, I suppose I would skip the elections
Next person / party I will vote for: The class representative - referring to my school. Politics are still off limits for me
My history (100 words max): Grew up speaking two languages since raised in two countries. Underwent a miraculous personality "change" at age of 14 - thank G-d!
Additionally I can tell that I have always been a pupil who loved studying and I hope to continue the same way ;-)
Family history (100 words max): They came from different directions, no one knows how and why. Large, confusing family tree. I never got to know my father but I'm quite happy with that. Until now I am the only one continuing the religious branch of my family which was abandoned some 3 generations ago
Greatest invention: The Tora - if we consider it being "invented" by G-d for our world. Otherwise... the computer.
If you could have dinner with any person in the world it would be: Most of them already died... From the prominent ones, Shimon Peres
If you could go anywhere on vacation, it would be: Definitely Yemen. My faraway roots and some of my best friends are hiding there somewhere
Feminine/masculine trait I'd like to have: Masculine nonchalance
What angers you: Neglect of one's own sense of rationality
What makes you happy: Music, singing, discovering new truths, new ideas, new friends; fresh air and a blue sky
Last book I read was: Bezalel Aloni - Letters to Ofra
Comfort food: popcorn, malt beer, pasta
Anything you regret? My extremely short sleeping period per night!
My life five years from now: Everything is in G-d's hands... But I wish it would be a high school degree, aliyah, and joining an university in Israel
You may not like it but I have something controversial to say: For me, Judaism is all about prioritizing!
Happiness: 1-10 (10 being the happiest) 8
