ISRAEL PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIP
The Jewish Federation of Central Alabama makes Israel Program grants available to local Jewish families and youth. It is the intent of the JFCA to encourage Jewish persons (high school youth, college students and young adults) to visit and engage with Israel. By doing so, we hope that the numbers of those who have the opportunity to go to Israel will increase. It is also the intent of JFCA to build and sustain strong commitment to Judaism among our youth, who will be our leaders of tomorrow.

Zac Mendelsohn NFTY’s L‘Dor v’Dor Israel program 2016
My experience in Israel was the greatest experience of my life. I really got to learn and express my Judaism a lot more when I was there. On my trip, I got to experience how the Jewish culture lived and learned about the history of Israel. I participated in tours where I learned and experienced the other countries that border Israel. It was scary and interesting at the same time on how many countries surround Israel and how small it was compared to the other countries.

The Western Wall was the highlight of my trip because you learn and feel how the Jewish people were throughout the years. I also prayed and wrote a note to put my own stamp on my experience. This trip made me feel and think about how I live in America that is so different and sometimes similar to how the Jewish people live in Israel. I really suggest that all Jewish people (kids included) should go and experience Israel at least once in their lifetime.
