Discussion Led By Hillel Israel Fellows

Israel is a homeland for Jewish people from all over the world.  Our Davis/Sacramento Hillel, as well as Hillels all over the country, have Israel Fellows with different backgrounds and different countries of origin. The Israel Fellows will tell the story of their background and lives in Israel and discuss the diversity of Israel’s population.
