Are you a professor looking to enhance student experience and understanding of their academic field in Israel?
Maybe you are an Israel Fellow or Hillel professional who recognizes the need for a sophisticated examination of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from up close? How about a campus chaplain interested in organizing an inter-faith journey for students?
Israel Experts is the perfect partner, with years of experience developing these types of programs.
Many professors and students have found that Israel provides fertile soil for in-depth and interactive studies of a variety of academic disciplines. These may include:
At a time when Israel is at the heart of ongoing controversy, when political stances towards the Jewish State are hard to differentiate from anti-Semitism, and when the language of dialogue is being replaced with boycotts and violence, there is no better time for your students to experience the region for themselves.
We invite Jewish professionals, Israel educators, and academics, along with their students to experience Israel – its beauty, blemishes, accomplishments, challenges, and complexity. Whether they are student leaders forced to take a stand on issues or Jewish students struggling to develop a personal relationship with Israel, this trip challenges assumptions and empowers students with information.
Many campuses are looking for ways to bridge differences among students, to seek common territory that enables them to work toward shared goals. Interfaith student trips can provide such an opportunity and set the stage for ongoing, constructive efforts once students return to campus.
