This is way more than just a trip to Israel,
it's a journey of a lifetime!
After a nearly three year hiatus, Hillel Milwaukee brought the first-ever Marquette and UW-Milwaukee Side by Side Fellowship and Trip to Israel in 2022, and we are once again recruiting for our Spring 2023 fellowship and trip!
This trip is open to BOTH UW-Milwaukee (UWM) and Marquette University Undergraduate Student Leaders.
The Side By Side Fellowship and Trip to Israel is more than just a trip. It is an opportunity for UWM and Marquette University's undergraduate student leaders to help create their own Israel experience through a deep dive into Israel and the Palestinian territories.
This Fellowship and trip brings Jewish and non-Jewish UWM and Marquette University undergraduate student leaders together and then to the region to educate them about Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: shining an international light on the complexities and nuance, in an immersive and experiential way. Participants will hear from Israel's most innovative industry leaders, meet with Palestinian activists, tour Israel and Palestinian cities, including religious holy sites, and so much more!
We believe that by presenting students with the opportunity to explore and develop their connections to Israel and Palestine, students will be empowered to bring back what they have learned to campus and continue to grow as vibrant, committed leaders in our community.
Our Side by Side trip dates are May 28 - June 8, 2023 - learn more and apply here!
Eligibility:
NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE NEEDED!
MANDATORY Requirements:
*Participation in 3 pre-trip orientations - dates TBD in Spring 2023
