Adelsons Give $1M For Campus Advocacy NEW YORK (JTA) — Philanthropists Miri and Sheldon Adelson have pledged $1 million to further expand the Israel Fellows program on North American college campuses. The pledge will increase the number of involved campuses from 34 to 50. The Israel Fellows program, a col- laborative effort of the Jewish Agency and Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, places recent Israeli col- lege graduates in Hillels on U.S. and Canadian campuses to assist with Israel education and advocacy. The Israel Fellows also work with Birthright Israel trip participants and returnees, and assist students who choose to explore options for long- term experiential and study programs in Israel. Alex, a local group that participates in Wish-A-Mile, a 300-mile, three- day bike ride that raises funds for Make-A-Wish.

Rep. Shelley Berkley In Bid For Senate WASHINGTON (JTA) — Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.), a pro- Israel stalwart, will run for Nevada's United States Senate seat. Berkley, who is seen as the most pro-Israel mem- ber of Congress, made her decision April 14 after months of drop- ping hints. Berkley is con- Shelley sidered a strong Berkley candidate, with an ability to bring in Republican voters because of her credentials as a hard-liner on foreign policy. Rep. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) already has declared his bid to replace the scandal-plagued Sen. John Ensign, a Republican, who is retiring in 2012.
