Meet the summer intern

Israel Finegold

Israel Finegold is the new intern this summer at the Jewish Voice. He will be writing feature stories and other articles for the paper. Finegold is interested in the field of journalism because he has always been a curious person with a passion for learning new information.

He hopes to bring his skills in communication and helpful nature to the position. But, he also hopes to combine these skills to determine whether journalism is the right field for him. He is currently a student at the New England Rabbinical College.

Finegold also studies organizational communication at Providence College. He will graduate from Providence College in December 2015. After graduation, he plans to pursue a Master of Health Care Management at Stevenson University in Baltimore, Maryland. 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics within the United States Department of Labor, jobs in health care management are supposed to grow 22 percent between the years of 2010 and 2020. With his background in communication, degree in Health Care Management and passion for helping others, Finegold believes he will have a wide range of job opportunities. These options will allow him to return to Israel and make a true impact on the lives of others through his work.

Finegold’s parents moved back to the United States from Israel when he was 13 years old and he attended high school in Baltimore. After high school graduation, he studied for a year at Yeshivat Kerem B’Yavna in Israel. Upon his return, he began studying at the New England Rabbinical College while also taking night classes at Providence College. Although this was a heavy workload, he is extremely grateful for his college education and knows that his experiences will enable him to improve the lives of others which is worth every late night of studying. He is excited about his new position and hopes to contribute as much as possible to The Jewish Voice.
