Hillel at Emory Named Center for Israel Excellence

Hillel at Emory has been named one of four Hillels in North America this year as a "Center for Israel Excellence" to function as an innovation laboratory for Israel advocacy and educational programs. The designation also comes with grant money to be used toward the planning and implementation of the Excellence models.

Working together with staff, students, board and other campus and community stakeholders, these Hillels will develop and pilot creative approaches to Israel education, engagement, advocacy, and civil dialogue and become resource centers to develop and spread best practices throughout the Hillel field and influence university culture on Israel.

Students at Emory can expect new opportunities for student leadership and creative ways to experience Israel, both in Israel and on campus. The university community will experience Hillel's "Big Tent" approach to discourse on Israel incorporating civil dialogue and engagement, a multi-vocal approach to programming, and learning from a diversity of viewpoints.
