Nof Kedem - Northwestern University


Nof Kedem Gets A Chance To Meet With Chicago Jewish Community (VIDEO)

After getting the opportunity to play basketball at Northwestern University, it has been a challenge for Nof Kedem (Olesh, Israel) to juggle school, sports and being alone in Evanston, Illinois.  Having come from a very supportive family, Nof hasn't had it easy.  So when a Northwestern women's basketball supporter suggested that she meet with a group of local Jewish youngsters, Nof liked the idea.  Already a favorite with Northwestern's sizable Jewish fan base, Nof was the star of a gathering of Jewish fathers and daughters that made it to one of her games.  See the VIDEO.
