Gal was born and raised in Gedera, Israel, and moved to the US at the age of 8.

She grew up connected to her Israeli identity through activities and machanot in Shevet Gilad and Tapuz, and even had the opportunity to be part of the initiating Shachbag of Shevet Shemesh in Arizona.

 

Gal held a variety of roles during her time in Tzofim. After high school, she decided to start her undergraduate studies in Biochemistry at the University of Arizona. Even during her studies Gal was a big part of the Israeli community in her college town and in Shevet Shemesh. She became Merakezet Bogeret of Shevet Shemesh during the last year of her undergraduate career and had the passion to continue her path with the Israeli Scouts.

Gal says:" Being part of Hanagat Tzabar from the 3rd grade until the end of my time in university, I knew that I wanted to stay connected and give back, and have been in Los Angeles since."
