Dear ISEF Friends,

 

As we approach the Passover holiday, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to you for your loyal support for our wonderful students. From our families to yours, we wish you a holiday of meaningful traditions, wonderful food, and the comfort of family and friends.

 

We hope to see you at ISEF's Benefit Dinner on Wednesday, May 7th where we will be honoring three exceptional ISEF International Fellows, concluding impressive research in their respective fields. Please take a moment to read about ISEF's incredible impact on Israel's promising young minds and on the State of Israel as a whole.

ISEF Transforms IDF Soldiers' Lives

For IDF soldiers from immigrant and underserved communities, earning a degree may seem a distant dream. ISEF is working to change that, partnering with the Joseph S. & Caroline Gruss Life Monument Fund to reach 1,000 IDF soldiers near the end of military service.  

Soldiers attend an ISEF workshop (blurred for security reasons).

Soldiers spend a full day on campus with ISEF scholars as their guides, experiencing university life up close and learning about their degree options. But it is the personal touch - ISEF scholars sharing their life stories, how they overcame their own obstacles - that opens these young soldiers' eyes to new possibilities for their own lives.

2014 National Leadership Seminar 
On March 26th, over 400 ISEF scholars, alumni, board members, partners and distinguished guests gathered from all over Israel for ISEF's annual leadership seminar. This year's seminar, Zionism and Social Justice, featured Minister of Social Services Meir Cohen as the main speaker. Our scholars met with representatives from top Israeli social change organizations and put forth their own ideas for aiding Israel's most vulnerable populations.
