Elissa Krycer is the ROI Community Manager. She 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. In 2011, Elissa joined the ROI team and her first global community where she appreciates the constant inspiration she derives from the work of Community members. After more than 6 year in Israel, Elissa can still be found amongst crowds of Birthright participants on a weekly basis, as she weaves her way through Jerusalem’s famous Machane Yehuda market shopping for last minute Shabbat supplies.
