I really hope you enjoy our videos and content, and that they help you connect or reconnect with the traditions of Obon!

Hi! I'm Alex Ruemmler! I just graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN with a double degree in Chemistry and Secondary Education. I will be pursuing my M.S. in Science Education at CSU Long Beach. Because education has always been important to me, I'm so glad this Silver Award project continues to help people learn about Obon traditions. I hope you enjoy the site and thank you to the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin for their continued support of us and our project!
