Following the success last year of an innovative program, which brought a dozen young adult Israelis to DC to mingle with local Jews in the city and at Capital Camps, the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington is at it again for year two!
This time around, eight Israelis are in America’s capital, largely to mingle with their peers. Already, they have volunteered at one of J-fed’s philanthropic pursuits, but there is much more to come! All Jewish young professionals, particularly Birthright alums, are encouraged to attend!
Check out the schedule below:
