Hi! I’m Tal Rioch – the new Hillel of Metro Detroit Israel Program Associate. I’m from Jerusalem and lived in Nachlaot (close to the Machne Yehuda Shuk) the last three years. I just graduated with a BA in International Relations and Communications from Hebrew University where I did an internship at the Knesset’s Labor, Welfare and Health Committee.

I am very excited to join Hillel of Metro Detroit! Previously, I spent a summer as the Israeli culture counselor at the JCC summer camp in New Jersey. I love to travel and discover new places and cultures. Recently I volunteered as a part of an Israeli delegation for Heroes For Life in Mumbai, India. In my free time, I loves sports (especially running) and listening to music. Head back here every Thursday after 4:00 PM to learn something new and fun about Israel.
