Mar 4, 2005 -- Teach for Israel, a �鶹��ýӳ�� initiative launched by undergraduates this winter, is revolutionizing how Jewish high school students learn about their spiritual homeland. As part of the program, 20 �鶹��ýӳ�� students will fan out to yeshiva high schools nationwide to teach juniors and seniors Israel advocacy and awareness. The �鶹��ýӳ�� students, called Teach for Israel fellows, underwent two months of intensive training on issues including religious Zionism, media bias, and Israeli government and history. Also, they learned how to prepare and deliver informal education programs to creatively reinforce the messages and ideas presented to the teens by classroom teachers. Through April, fellows will visit schools including Hebrew Academy of Five Towns and Rockaway, Cedarhurst, NY; Hebrew Academy of Nassau County, Uniondale, NY; The Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy/Yeshiva University High School for Boys, New York, NY; Westchester Hebrew High School, Mamaroneck, NY; The Frisch School, Paramus, NJ; Ma’ayanot Yeshiva High School, Teaneck, NJ; Jewish Educational Center, Elizabeth, NJ; Yeshiva High School, Atlanta, GA; and Hebrew Academy of Houston, TX. Menachem Menchel and Hindy Poupko, co-directors of Teach for Israel, said that program developed from discussions with �鶹��ýӳ�� President Richard M. Joel about the need for high school education on issues affecting Israel. “We want to be role models who can educate and inspire high school students,” Ms. Poupko said. Teach for Israel is a project of the �鶹��ýӳ�� Israel Club, the Association of Modern Orthodox Day Schools, the Max Stern Division of Communal Services, the Board of Jewish Education, and Yavneh Olami. It is supported by the �鶹��ýӳ�� President’s Circle. For more information, please contact Josh Joseph at the Max Stern Division of Communal Services at 212-960-5400 x6359.
