Mifgash With Israeli Teens

April 2004

A highlight of the Diller Teen Fellows program is the Mifgash (meeting) between the Diller teens and their peers from the Manhigut Esreh (Teen Leadership) program from Etzba Ha-Galil in Northern Israel. The Mifgash took place over the Passover holiday and allowed the two groups to discuss the similarities and differences between Jewish youth from the US and Israel, as well as form long-lasting personal friendships.

The Mifgash began with a weekend-long retreat at Derech Eretz, a Jewish camp in the California foothills. The two groups spent Shabbat together, participated in discussions and activities which were created and led by the teens from both groups, and ended with performing community service projects.
