Introducing Israel Forever Interns - Summer of 2018
The Israel Forever Foundation is a unique organization in that we are not about advocacy, "hasbara" but about being and helping other Jews around the world be our true selves in the deepest sense of the term. Jewish identity is intrinsically connected to Israel but many Jews have forgotten that, don't know how to connect or were taught to believe that they must connect via religion or politics which they may not feel comfortable with.
Our job is to help Jews around the world find their path to Israel and through that, their path to themselves - when we achieve this we create a strong Jewish community. This our way of making sure that Israel is FOREVER.
Israel Forever is pleased to introduce you to our summer interns. These special young Jews have joined our team to hone their professional skills, strengthen their own Jewish identity and Israel connection and, use their own voice to positively impact other Jews around the world.
Get ready, this is an impressive group!
If you or someone you know may be interested in becoming an Israel Forever intern in either our Jerusalem, Washington DC or virtual office, please contact us to learn about available opportunities.
