As a loud pro-Israel voice, a Hungarian, and anon-Jewish Zionist, she has created an ideology that aims to change thestereotypes about Israel and the Jewish people one day at a time.
Virag first toured Europe witha Zurich ballet company and gained a lifelong love of travel and pushing theboundaries of her experience.

She was the NYC coordinator forthe grassroots movement called End Jew Hatred.
Our Shabbat service is available in our sanctuary and online at https://TBAoakland.org/stream.
Our Shabbat service is both Conservative and egalitarian. The siddur (prayerbook) we use, Shirat Avraham or The Song of Abraham, was written by TBA’s Rabbi Mark Bloom as “a siddur dedicated to those who wish to increase the meaning and accessibility in traditional Jewish prayer.”
We invite all to join in a Shabbat Kiddush following the service.
