Young Ambassadors Visit Israel with JNF Education

JNF UK YOUNG AMBASSADOR FINALISTS VISIT ISRAEL

The winning teams from Kings Solomon’s School and JFS enjoyed a week in Israel as guests of JNF visiting JNF UK projects in the Negev, as well as meeting officials at the Foreign Ministry.

The competition between teams of sixth formers at Jewish Schools, organised by JNF UK, Tribe, Bicom and UJS aims to create young Ambassadors for Israel by equipping them with advocacy skills prior to going to university.

JNF UK Informal Education Co-0ordinator Sarah Nysenbaum said: ‘It was an incredible week in which the students demonstrated how thoughtful and involved they are with the state of Israel. It was a privilege to work with such passionate students and I look forward to many more young people taking part next year.’

JFS student Sam Schryer said, ‘This trip was the most engaging Israel trip I have been on, all visits and speakers were amazing and gave me an even greater knowledge of Israel and Israel advocacy.’

‘I feel I have had the most amazing experience and within a week I have grown as an individual as well as really experiencing Israel,’ said Talia Eisner of King Solomon.
