Faigie

Hi! My name is Faigie. I was born in Jerusalem in 1994.I go to Neveh Chana high school. I love playing sports. I'm on a flag football team which is awesome. Playing football gives me adrenaline and I get all pumped up. I also love watching tackle football i'm a HUGE Giants fan and cant wait for the "SUPER BOWL"!-every single year my family and my friends get together to watch the superbowl! I'm a very outgoing person. I love hanging out with friends, watching T.V. especially action movies and tv shows. I also like comedies and i sing all the time.=) Sushi is my favorite food, and I like cooking as well. I travel a lot around the world. My favorite places that I've been so far are Spain where I stayed in this really cool hotel which was on the beach. It was possible to see the water under your feet because the floor was made out of glass.  I don’t have that many of good experience in France because I got lost in Paris for about an hour =P.  I've also been to Greece and South Africa, where I have a lot of family. While I was there I stayed in Cape Town, there is the table mountain which looks like a big square, and it’s a great view and when my family and I go hiking and we end up being at the top I feel like I'm at the top of the world. My dad is from Germany and my mom is from Russia; therefore, I speak Russian and a little bit of Germn. Even though my parents did not come from an English speaking country I went to an English speaking kinder-garden. Furthermore, being surrounded by a lot of English speaking friends has helped me. I spend a lot of time in South Africa which also gives me pretty good English skills. I have 3 brothers two older then me and one younger. The oldest one is 22 and he's a pilot for the army then there is an 18 year old who is joining the army very soon (i'm really close to him). Afterwards there is me =) and my little borther who is 14 years old. I hate it when people fight or argue because it makes me angry and sad and I feel intimidated by the situation. I enjoy reading a lot of books, and one of my favorite things to do on Shabbat is to snuggle in my bed and read a book.  I like the author Nicholas Sparks because his main characters are very realistic and I find a lot of similarities with my life.  I'm very into fashion I love reading magazines and shopping of course.  My favorite quote: "Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another into the light"-Norman B. Rice. I connect with this quote because I believe that the more light, or good you have in yourself the more you want to share it with others that need help.

I'm so happy I have the opportunity to live in Israel. Its an amazing place and the community I live in is great and very welcoming! I believe that every Jew should live in Israel, it’s the Jews homeland and not just because of that but also because its pretty awesome and you should all move here so we could actually meet! =)
