JNF UK wraps up its second Fellowship Programme

JNF UK’s second Fellowship Programme has just wrapped up its two-day conference for year 12 students, designed to nurture future community leaders and strengthen young advocates for Israel.

Taking place this week, participants completed seminars where they gained leadership skills and received training on fighting antisemitism online. The fellowship cohort also visited the Houses of Parliament for an exclusive tour followed by meetings with parliamentary representatives.

Participants, who came from a range of secondary schools, sat down with Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, in the Israeli Embassy, and met Natasha Hausdorff, director of UK Lawyers for Israel.

One of the participants, Yoni Nemko, said it was “a privilege to take part in a discussion with Her Excellency, Tzipi Hotovely about the relationship between Jewish identity and Israel since the atrocities of October 7. The tour of the Houses of Parliament, including both famous chambers, was enjoyable and informative. We discussed initiatives to promote knowledge and understanding of Israel to the wider world, with parliamentary advisors.”
