Kol Yisrael
What does it mean to live Jewishly in Israel? With so many religious and secular expressions of Jewish life, how can Israeli society negotiate with these different expressions? This series will explore how Jews navigate and share space in the Jewish State. Using five case studies, our cohort will explore the values that are animated when Judaism is actualized in the public sphere. Because this series focuses on questions relating specifically to Jewish practices, the content will center around Jewish-Israeli voices.
Kol Yisrael will meet for about 90 minutes on Thursdays from Sept 16 - to Oct 20, 2022. Timing will depend on the applicants availability so please indicate your availability below. There will be a fancy celebratory dinner at a restaurant of the groups choosing to finish our cohort, as well as a paid $100 stipend for participating all six sessions. Questions? Contact Hannah at hannahg@hillelvt.org.

Service Engagement Internship
Our Service Intern will have the opportunity to pursue an issue-focused educational cohort with interns on other campuses based on their own interests and passions. This year’s issue areas include: Environmental Justice, Disability Inclusion/Justice, Racial Justice, Food Justice, Housing Justice, and Education Equity. Each cohort will engage in a four-part education series which will introduce the topic area as well as its connection to Jewish values and will equip students to take relevant, meaningful, and tangible action. This is a *PAID* internship. Question? Contact Wendy at wendy@hillelvt.org

Accommodations, health insurance, Hebrew courses, and trips around Israel are all included in the program fee.
