Teen Israel Academy for High School Juniors and Seniors
Posted by Lauren Gold on 08/21/2025 @ 06:59 AM
Apply by Friday, September 12
High school juniors and seniors can apply now for the second cohort of Teen Israel Academy, an exciting new kind of Israel education that provides a safe academic space to grapple with Israel’s complexities and challenging questions. With the dramatic rise in worldwide antisemitism and anti-Israel rhetoric, it is critical that students understand the complexities of our Jewish homeland — both its miracles and its challenges — before heading off to college.
Funded by Federation, the goal of the academically rigorous program is to provide a new kind of Israeli education for teens and their parents that examines Israeli history and society, including the intricacies Israel faces within its own borders, with its neighbors and with the world, and provide a meaningful and relevant introduction to many of the fundamental questions that remain at the heart of the Jewish people and State of Israel.
