Jacob Dickerman
Born in 1995, Jacob was raised in Los Angeles and has been glad about it ever since. He studied Yiddish and dramaturgy at Hampshire College before graduating from UC Berkeley with a BA in Music Cognition and Creative Writing. Passionate about harm reduction and mental health, Jacob will be pursuing a master’s degree in social work after this year; in the meanwhile, he is excited to learn about trauma care in Israel and the burgeoning world of psychedelic-assisted therapy for PTSD. He deeply appreciates the opportunity to give to and receive from Jewish community in the Land of Israel.
