Session Description

Many Jewish tweens and teens are struggling with ways to make a meaningful impact in Israel and at home in terms of the crisis in Israel, a significant uptick in antisemitism, and a challenging political climate. This session is a hands-on workshop where participants will walk away with an array of programmatic ideas that will enable Jewish youth to get involved and make a real difference in the world around them. An open mind, creativity, and a spirit of collaboration are all you will need for this practical and interactive learning session!

Presented by Erica Hruby, The Jewish Education Project
