• Meet with leading personalities in public life, the academy, and the arts on a ten-day Israel study tour.
• Explore the complexity of Israeli society, politics, and culture.
• Develop or revise a syllabus to teach at your home institution.
• Join a network of over 335 alumni—teaching at over 200 institutions—supported by a wealth of pedagogical resources and ongoing professional development.

Faculty members teaching outside Israel are eligible for the program.
