Orly Voss de Bettancourt

This is Orly Voss de Bettancourt . Orly identifies as American, as she was born and raised here, as were both of her parents. Her mother is Jewish and so she was raised with knowledge of Jewish culture and she continues to celebrate the major holidays. Her grandfather on her dad’s side was French, though she says that really hasn’t had any influence in her life. Orly grew up in San Francisco, which she says is more diverse than what she has experienced off campus in So Cal. She enjoys Indian food, which she was exposed to through her aunt who was Indian. Orly has never left the US, but has heard stories about Israel from her mom, who has traveled there.
