...is Tana Zarelli.

She is a self -starter who is currently

involved in something she didn’tknow anything about until 2006. At that time, she attended a conference on American and Israelirelationships. She learned muchabout the Land, the Culture andthe Arab-Israeli Conflict.

Her eyes were opened and shequestioned why she didn’t know any of this information. Afterward, Tani felt a call to begin to educatethe average American person likeherself about Israel and what shehad just learned.

So in 2007, she embarked on herfirst fact-finding trip to Israel.Shortly afterward, she hosted thefirst US “ConvergenceConference,” designed to educate Americans about the need for a strong relationship between America and Israel as well as tohelp them understand the Conflict.Members of the Israeli

Government, including then-Prime

Minister Netanyahu, spoke. Tani

continues to sponsor the US-Israeli

Convergence Conference and it

remains her driving force.

In 2008, Tani took her first groupto Israel, which she continues to do

regularly. She tailors her tours for

the participants-- whether the focus

is Education, Faith,

Politics or Health Care, she makessure to take participants on tours

of Jerusalem and other cities where

they experience the vibrant life of

Israel. Tani sees lives changed over

and over. Her passion is to see

people connect to the Land and

People of Israel, preparing them tocome back and be a spokesperson

for Israel. Tani also has established

unique relationships where she can

assist business leaders in finding

new opportunities to bring

economic success to both the US &

Israel.You can learn more about Tani Zarelli at her website,

Government exists to

protect us from each

other. Where government

has gone beyond its limits

is in deciding to protect

us from ourselves.
