San Anselmo native Lena Elkins, who made aliyah last summer shortly after graduating from the University of Oregon, casts her vote in Israel in the March 17 election. A 2010 graduate of San Francisco’s Jewish Community High School of the Bay, Elkins lives in Tel Aviv, works as a content manager for Young Judaea and is an occasional blogger for the Jerusalem Post. Her younger sister, Madeleine, is also an Israeli citizen, having made aliyah two years ago. For coverage of the election and reaction from Bay Area observers, see page 14.
