What they reported doing
- #1 primary $1.62MOur program with college students focuses on most students lack of knowledge of their Jewish identity. Ignorance about their Jewish background, traditions and values very much defines the secular Israeli population. This programs purpose is to educate and strengthen the college students identity with their Jewish history and to elevate their pride in their Jewishness. The operational activities include educational programs on different subjects that are related to the students lives such as interpersonal relationships, happiness, livelihood, Shabbat and coping with problems from a Jewish perspective. The volunteer projects vary, depending on the needs, such as organizing a Chanukah party on army bases or assembling food packages at soup kitchens. We opererate on 6 college campuses located throughout Israel. This program touches over 30,000 college students annually
- #2 $1.45MOur program with teenagers in Israel focuses on 14-18 year olds, most of whom attend state run schools. Our objective is to impart Jewish values in pleasant ways, with the goal of lighting up the Jewish spark inside of them. Our learning programs are in coordination with the Department of Education and local schools. We offer weekly or bi-weekly lessons on Jewish faith and tradition, afterschool activities which include meetings, volunteer activities, weekly Oneg Shabbats and monthly trips or special events. For teens that finish our programs we offer an annual trip abroad at a globally run convention and participation in a summer camp trip abroad.. We currently operate 16 centers throughout Israel reaching over 5000 teenagers annually.
