The 2012 Diller Teen Fellows check in from Israel
August 2, 2012Diller Teen Fellows cohorts from six North American partner communities have just returned from their much anticipated three week long, Israel Summer Seminar (ISS). Here, six North American cohorts, each filled with twenty 10th and 11th graders of different backgrounds, explored Israel, participated in a four day Diller International Teen Leadership Congress, and experienced a week of home hospitality by their host families in their Israeli partnership cities. The Diller ISS is part of the continuing effort to empower participants to be active, effective leaders with a strong Jewish identity and a responsibility to their communities, Israel, and the Jewish people.
The cohorts have blogged throughout their time in Israel–so check this post to see highlights of their trip!
