PARALLEL SESSION FOR PARENTS /Israel on Campus: What to Know to Support Your Kids

Transitioning from high school to college can be a big step, especially when it comes to understanding Israel-related issues on campus. Every college environment is different, and many high school students have questions about what to expect for Jewish and pro-Israel communities. In this session, parents explore trends in pro-Israel and anti-Israel activities on campus and gain a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities their children may face in both high school and college.

About the high school series.

In partnership with the nonprofit, Stand with Us, we aim to empower high school students with comprehensive knowledge, critical thinking skills, and proactive strategies to engage with the history of the Jewish people, the State of Israel, and contemporary issues, including antisemitism. Through interactive sessions and discussions, we aim to foster a sense of responsibility and advocacy among participants, equipping them to combat antisemitism on high school and college campuses and represent their Jewish heritage with pride.
