Marcie stands apart in a class by herself as an educator and learning companion. She is whip-smart, intimately knowledgeable in Judaism as a native and in Christianity as a world-class scholar. Marcie is down-home congenial, combining a delightful sense of humor with humility. She cares deeply for the Jewish people, the land they call "home," and the Palestinian people who also call it "home." Years of living and teaching in Israel has given her a set of contacts for expert content that rivals those of large organizations.
