Atlanta’s 2023 Community Journey to Israel: Ana Robbins
Ana Robbins shares her recollections of the Federation's 2023 Community Journey to Israel.
What was your favorite place visited?
We loved meeting families and getting to visit their homes in Yokneam. We enjoyed a delicious homemade Israeli meal — salads and shake hula—and our new friends quickly felt like family!
What was your favorite restaurant or menu item while in Israel?
Dark green, light green, red and purple— we love the visual, and the tastes, of a wide selection of Israeli salads.
What made this trip special from others?
Traveling with our parents and the wider Atlanta community was unique and endlessly interesting. We met a lot of new people and got to be with many of them as they experienced Israel for the “first time” and learned about the incredible and far-reaching work of Federation and Federation’s grantees. We loved how the trip was broken up into tracks so that everyone could go at their own pace and so that we could meet and get to know new friends.
Ana Robbins is the executive director of Jewish Kids Groups, a lifelong Atlantan, and wife of Eric Robbins, CEO and president of Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta.
