Engage

We support the next generation in every aspect of Israel engagement.

3. 3

   Social Media

   Write On For Israel Fellows and IEC Interns are trained to advocate for Israel on social media, as well as combat delegitimization and demonization on the web. Stay connected to IEC by joining us on Facebook.

4. 4

   Travel to Israel

   Experiencing the land, people and culture first-hand is one of the best ways to develop a long-term relationship with Israel. Whether you choose a short-term (Birthright Israel), summer (Onward Israel) or long-term (Masa Israel) trip, IEC is here to support you. Learn More.

5. 5

   Taglit-Birthright Israel Follow Up

   Each Taglit-Birthright Israel trip is an opportunity to connect participants to their own Jewish identity, the Jewish community in Chicago and to Jewish life after the trip concludes. IEC developed and implemented staff training for Birthright and Hillel professionals designed to increase the focus on long-term engagement after students experience the life-changing Taglit- Birthright Israel trip.
