Elissa Krycer grew up in Australia as an active member of the Zionist youth groups where she became a madricha and then State Director for her movement. In 2005, Elissa graduated from Monash University with bachelor degrees in law and commerce. Soon after her admission to legal practice, Elissa made aliyah and within days she started on the road to qualifying as an Israeli lawyer. While commercial law was interesting, Elissa made the next most logical move (for an Anglo in Jerusalem) and went into non-profit. Elissa worked in International Relations at Keren Kayemeth L’Yisrael and in 2011 she joined the ROI team and her first global community. Elissa loves Israel and she still enjoys the first-time-Israel-experience vibe on a weekly basis as she weaves through crowds of Birthright participants at Jerusalem’s famous Machane Yehuda market while shopping on Friday for last minute Shabbat supplies.
