Israel Education Associate:
Reut Friedman
rfriedman@cjebaltimore.org The primary goal of Israel High is to prepare
students in congregational, independent
and public high schools with the tools and
knowledge to stand proud and confident in
the face of the anger and confusion about
Israel with which they may be confronted
when they arrive on college campuses. In
addition to working with students, we train
professional adults in high schools and
youth groups to be more effective resources
for information and guidance around the
issues of Israel and anti-Semitism on col-
lege campuses. We have created a resource
packet for college-bound students that
includes information about Jewish interest,
advocacy and other organizations. We also
offer a variety of relevant experiences for the
community. Jewish New Teacher Project (JNTP)
