Contact Lielle​, Cleveland Hillel’s Israel Fellow, to discuss these or other opportunities to visit Israel.

 

At Cleveland Hillel we believe in the importance of Israel as one of the many core elements of Jewish life, and value our obligation to provide a wide range of programmatic, educational, advocacy, and travel opportunities to allow our students many diverse ways to learn about and engage with Israel.  Hundreds of our students have visited Israel on Birthright trips over the years, and we are proud of the fact that these trips allow our students to explore what Israel means to them.

​

Cleveland Hillel recognizes that our students represent a wide range of feelings about and relationships with Israel, and we do our best to make our building and our programs represent this rich diversity within our community.  We strive to provide our students many chances to “explore and build an enduring relationship with Israel,” in the words of Hillel International’s Guidelines for Campus Israel Activities. 

 

To do so, we work hard to make Hillel a place that offers meaningful conversation, learning resources, and spiritual context within which to explore Israel and what it means to all of us.  We are proud of the pluralistic community here at Cleveland Hillel, and our staff is fully committed to Israel programming and Israel dialogue that will always remain safe, civil, and supportive.
