Zack and Claire met in Charlottesville, Virginia where Zack was finishing up business school at Darden and Claire was in her second year of Emergency Medicine residency at UVA. They met for drinks at a small Mexican restaurant in March of 2016. Over the course of the night, they realized that they both grew up outside of Philadelphia, both have a passion for Israel, and have similar values and sense of adventure. The timing was slightly unfortunate because Zack was planning to move to New York City in six weeks. But as the saying goes, "When you know, you know" and both Zack and Claire knew pretty much immediately that this was something special. Over the next year, Zack and Claire traveled back and forth, eight hours each way, between New York and Charlottesville. In June of 2017, Claire finished up residency and moved to NYC to join Zack. One year later, they moved to Philadelphia, which is where they plan to settle down and plant their roots. Now after a few great years and many miles, Zack and Claire are getting hitched!
