“As a student at UPENN it is an honor to be a part of Jewish students who are returning to Israel in an unprecedented historic mission. It’s important to support the people of Israel and acquire the skills to advocate for Israel on campus.”

“After October 7th everything changed on US campus. I was preparing for a job interview and for the summer. Over a day we became activists defending our country. We want to show Israel that the US is with them. This visit has been incredible and enabled us to strengthen ourselves and get ready for what we know is coming when we return to campus.”

“This trip was absolutely amazing. I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to strengthen my knowledge. The high quality speakers and packed schedule is a testament to the professionalism of the program. I’m happy to say this trip was life changing. I now feel equipped to debate this topic and stop antisemitism on my campus”.

“This trip inspired and strengthened me to go back on campus and combat antisemitism. It was very vital for me to hear testimonies first hand, and bear witness to October 7th atrocities. I became more confident in speaking up on news channels which is an opportunity I have been searching for. I also learned many tools with this community of students that we built, on what to do on campus”.

“We need to speak up against the horrors of October 7th. Truth exists and we need to fight for it. The IsraelAmbassadors mission to Israel gave me the leadership and confidence to do exactly this”.

"Through attending pro-Israel conventions and now this leadership trip, I aim to gain the tools and inspiration to better promote pro-Israel messaging and create safe spaces for celebrating Israel."

“When I return to Columbia University, where the environment has grown increasingly hostile, I aim to use this experience to educate and raise awareness. As a campus leader, my primary goal is to learn how to effectively combat hate and safeguard my community.”
