Israel Engagement Fellowship

About the Israel Engagement Fellowship

Exploring, Experiencing, and Enacting Your Israel 


The Israel Engagement Fellowship serves Jewish high school students who are eager for intensive, hands-on learning and engagement with Israel. This program serves a diverse population of learners whose relationship to and experiences with/in Israel vary greatly. In serving this diverse target audience, the program provides content-rich experiences to explore Israel – its land, people, culture, and values – and foster their own personal relationship to Israel.


The Israel Engagement Fellowship 
works to support Jewish high school students in the Greater Indianapolis area by connecting them with Israel in an authentic way and learning how to engage with and advocate for Israel in a way that makes sense for them. Participants in the fellowship benefit from a space to ask tough questions, challenge each other, and learn relational advocacy concepts and resources from dynamic speakers.

During my time in the Israel Engagement Fellowship, I learned about Israel’s past, government, and culture alongside fellow Jewish teens. This program has helped me build a stronger connection with Israel and my fellow members.

This program has been more than informative. Every week we’re led in a discussion about different events in Israel. We have learned more than just history but also politics, how to analyze the reliability of news sources and even how antisemitism and anti-Zionism affect us every day.

I have found joy participating in the Israel Engagement Fellowship. This has been an amazing experience with an intriguing syllabus where I learned during each and every session. The topic I chose to research for the final project was the divine Israeli food culture that I had the honor of experiencing while in Israel.
