Culture Shock

Seven years ago, Elana Rubin moved from her Jewish Day School in Baltimore, Maryland to Israeli public school in Tel Aviv. One hundred years ago, her great grandfather left his wife and children in Russia to begin a new life in America. Three thousand years ago, Abraham followed the word of an unknown God to journey to Canaan and father a great nation. Culture Shock tells the story of uprooting and navigating unfamiliar worlds, following the personal story of a teenager growing up and finding her place in the context of thousands of years of history.
