Carol Lipman came to live in Israel from London in 2012 after a career in education which included teaching, lecturing and careers counseling. Her interests include travel and the arts. A committee member of the ESRA Modiin branch, she has found the local community to be extremely friendly and supportive.  Two of her nine grandchildren who range between 10 years and 10 months, have been born since she  moved to Israel, and she hopes that one day she will be able to have a conversation with them in Hebrew.
