At Jewish Federation!
LEAP – AN iCAN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
LEAP is a leadership program for high school students designed to address core questions for Jewish students as they prepared for college and beyond. Participants study Jewish values, identify their personal views and perspectives around Israel and Zionism and learn how to engage in civil discourse with individuals of differing opinions. Rachel E.

ISRAELNOW
IsraelNow is an educational program designed to give 8th graders an immersive, emotional and memorable taste of Israel and their Jewish heritage through a week-long, “hands-on” experience.
IsraelNow serves as a launchpad for Jewish 8th graders to establish a relationship with Israel, become more involved in the local Jewish community and engage in Jewish life throughout their high school years and beyond. The experience conisists of an eight day trip to Israel in addition to pre and post trip programming.
This transformational experience lays the groundwork for a young person to develop into an active member of the Jewish community and a lover of Israel. This experience leads to increased enrollment in both formal and informal Jewish education and programming during high school.
