Hillel Welcomes 2009-2010 Israel Fellows

Hillel's Campus Israel Fellows Initiative, in partnership with the Jewish Agency for Israel, places outstanding young Israelis on key North American campuses to serve as peer ambassadors to the campus community. The fellows focus on Israel education and advocacy programming on campus, work with Taglit-Birthright Israel trip participants and returnees, and help students explore options for long-term experiential and study programs in Israel.
