Yeshiva University Students Promote Jewish Leadership Abroad

By Ashley Tedesco / February 5, 2009

Yeshiva University sent thirty five college students to Israel in late January through their Center for the Jewish Future. There, students were divided into two groups and took part in a "seven-day interactive learning and community service program" by the name of "Project Connect: Israel Winter Mission." The program is geared toward teaching young Jews about the diverse cultural and ethnic groups that have immigrated to Israel since the state’s inception in 1948.

Two short documentaries were created about the program. Check them out here!
