High School Study
Program In Israel
The Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion — Israel Program Center
and the Agency for Jewish
Education are offering a high
school semester in Israel for
10th and 11th grade students.
The program, titled Project,
currently in its third year,
enables students to spend five
months in Israel studying in
an American high school.
The students live in
Jerusalem and experience life
in Israel. The Youth Aliyah
Department of the Jewish
Agency will administer the
program in Israel.
• Participating students will
depart for Israel in February
1991 and will live and study
at the Goldstein Youth
Village, an international
educational center. Detroit
students will be joined by
students from Chicago,
Cleveland and other Mid-
west communities. About 40
young people are expected to
take part in the 1991 spring
semester. The fee of $3,850
covers tuition, room and
board, tours, seminars and
comprehensive health/hospi-
talization plan. Not included
in the cost are textbooks,
pocket money, airfare, dental
care, elective surgery, in-
surance on personal belong-
ings or a $50 non-refundable
registration fee.
In addition to the regular
American High School cur-
riculum, the program will in-
clude intensive Jewish and
Hebrew studies and tours of
the country. A special em-
phasis will be given to learn-
ing about the Israeli society
and encountering the Israelis
on a personal level.
Each student will have an
adoptive Israeli family with
which the students will spend
holidays and free time.
Students will also take part
in activities of the Noar Le'
Noar Youth Movement,
BBYO's Israeli sister move-
ment, with their peers.
An informational meeting
for Project Discovery will be
held 7:30 p.m. Nov. 8 at the
Agency for Jewish Education,

Bronfman Fellowships
For Study In Israel
The Edgar M. Bronfman
Youth Fellowships in Israel —
a program that sends 25 high
school students to Israel for
five weeks each summer for
study, dialogue and travel —
is now accepting applications
for 1991.
The Fellowships cover all
expenses, including roundtrip
transportation between New
York and Israel, room and
board, travel in Israel and in-
cidentals, and are awarded
solely on the basis of merit.
In Israel, the Fellows will be
led by a team of educators and
counselors who themselves
come from a broad range of
Jewish backgrounds. The pro-
gram will begin on July 7
with a two-day orientation
seminar in New York. The
group will return home Aug.
14.
High school students in the
United States and Canada
who will be seniors in
September 1991 may obtain
application forms and detail-
ed information by writing or
calling the Edgar M. Bronf-
man Youth Fellowships in
Israel, 17 Wilbur Street,
Albany, N.Y. 12202; telephone
(518) 465-6575.
Completed applications
must be postmarked no later
than Feb. 1, 1991. The names
of the 1991 Fellowship reci-
pients will be announced on
March 25.
The five-week stay in
Israel is spent in intensive
study, travel and discussion.
The Fellows meet and take
part in seminars with some of
Israel's most penetrating
political and cultural figures,
debating and searching for in-
sights in an atmosphere of
open dialogue. Jewish life is
explored against a back-
ground of Israel's land,
culture and customs.
Upon their return to the
United States, the Fellows
participate in follow-up
seminars that enable them to
rekindle friendships, evaluate
what they have learned and
exchange ideas on how to
apply the program's lessons in
the years ahead.
The adult staff accompany-
ing the Fellows in Israel will
include scholars-in-residence
and counselors representing
the Conservative, Orthodox
and Reform movements.
