Putting Israel at the Forefront of Global Good:Galvanizing Jewish Students Through Torah Values, Israel Advocacy, and Global Social Action
Two of the major issues that concern our students are the attacks against Israel and international issues. We are combining the two with an innovative project that is sure to help you reach students who have perhaps not been as interested before.
We are working together to create a program that will capture the imagination of students around the unique potential of Israeli know-how to transform the lives of people living in developing countries.
Our Aim
To offer a distinctive voice on campuses about promoting and explaining Israel by way of global issues, whilst using this to reach and inspire an increasing number of students.
Our strategy
To launch the project on as many campuses as possible through a specially created presentation. The presentation will be dynamic and interactive, and will aim to enthuse and excite students, laying the foundation for further opportunities to engage.
Learn
Deliver a stand-alone class or a four-part course exploring Jewish values, Israeli know-how and issues of the developing world. Our ultimate aim is to turn this into an accredited course.
Adopt a Cause
Encourage students to choose a small goal that would make a difference in the lives of the world's poorest people in a manner that is connected with Israeli know-how and inspired by Jewish values.
Bring Israel on Campus
Bring a project based on Israeli know-how onto campus to show in a high-visibility manner the life enhancing ideas coming out of Israel and that are relevant to poor countries. More details.
Service trip to Kenya
We aim to organize an trip during spring break that will take students on the trip of a lifetime to experience Kenya, whilst seeing the impact that Israeli knowledge is making in the lives of vulnerable people.
The Presentation
Invite a rabbi who founded a global humanitarian organization to talk about his work, the values behind it, and how we can become involved in the Chabad on Campus Project Forefront.
The Course
Bring together a few students to explore these matters in more text together with selected texts and videos to deepen their understanding of Jewish values and their potential application on campus and globally.
The Trip
Enroll students on a unique trip to Kenya to see how Jewish values and Israeli know-how are making a difference around the world. The trip will combine incredible safari experiences with a chance to volunteer in remote rural villages and urban slums.
