Please consider referring an outstanding student for a student leader delegation to the Middle East from January 3-13, 2027. Over the course of 10 days, students will meet with locals — Israelis and Palestinians; journalists, politicians, activists, and others — to gain a more meaningful understanding of the region and its people.
About 65% of the program focuses on exploring geopolitical realities, while the remaining 35% offers opportunities to visit holy sites, experience local culture, and reflect on the history and beauty of the region.
We’re looking for student leaders from a wide range of clubs and organizations on campus to help us build a strong, diverse group. Our hope is that participants will return inspired to foster dialogue, compassion, and connection among different communities on campus. Participant cost is only $250 which covers airfare, lodging, land tour, and most meals (value of trip is over $5000).
Thank you for your help connecting us with student leaders who might be interested in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Candidates must be in a leadership role and should have at least two semesters left on campus.
More information and the application (deadline to apply is Friday, October 23) is at Hillel Perspectives trip Application Winter 2027
