A Mifgash That Matters
Gather with North American and Israeli educators to experience the Israel of today.
March 18-21, 2024 in Israel
Apply Below OVERVIEW
While Israel education has always been an evolving and dynamic field, the events and aftermath of October 7 are so devastating, it is crucial for North American and Israeli educators to experience the Israel of today—firsthand, and together.
We will gather with Israeli colleagues to learn, strengthen each other, and process together this new reality. Together we will explore educational strategies relevant now and into the future.
This initiative is in partnership with The Jewish Education Project and in collaboration with The Jewish Agency for Israel and made possible through generous support from the Jim Joseph Foundation.
