Hadar Tal
Rishon in the Religious School for the New School Year
My name is Hadar Tal. I am 17 years old. I live in Rishon Le-Zion, Israel. I am the youngest child in my family. I have one sister, Reut, and two brothers, Amit and Liron—they all serve in the army as officers. My father is a musician and my mother is a teacher of history and nationality. I play piano and guitar and I like to sing and perform in ceremonies and other occasions.
As your new rishon, it is important for me to embrace the Jewish identity of the Jews in the Diaspora. We need to embed the connection to Israel by presenting it as a modern and developed country.
