NextGen at the Jewish National Fund Annual Conference for Israel

WJC Elevate brought a delegation to the Jewish National Fund's Annual Conference for Israel in Denver, Colorado. The WJC brought 10 Lauder Fellows from around the world and different backgrounds to learn about Israel, the current war, and to discuss the different experiences they've had in their communities back home. There were two WJC led sessions at the conference. The first was a panel that featured two JD members and two Lauder Fellows. Hannah Sarkin (Portugal) and Joseph Zeleznikow (Australia) spoke to an audience about their unique experience in their Jewish communities and answered questions from the audience. The second session was a Leadership Bridge Salon. Each Fellow led a discussion group where they engaged with participants of the conference and discussed relations between Israel and the diaspora and what some tools are to bridge the gap between the two.
