Seven countries, 32 communities, 700 Diller Teen Fellows and countless memories. Diller Teen Fellows Cape Town had the privilege of experiencing Israel Summer Seminar (ISS) this July.
The month was filled with engaging guest speakers, meaningful site visits, a special host family experience with our partners in Shoham, and connections made with like-minded teens from all over the world.
Highlights included an International Shabbaton where we explored our Jewish identity and practices in meaningful ways; Community Week in Shoham, when we were hosted by the most generous and loving Israeli families; and, of course, Global Congress, the gathering of all Diller Fellows from across the globe to learn, engage and connect.
Speaking of the experience, Diller Fellow, Ethan Werb, says, “ISS has been a life-changing experience. Meeting incredible people from all around Israel and the world has really helped expose me to different beliefs, opinions, and backgrounds, which has furthered my leadership skills immensely. ISS has been a great learning experience and simultaneously is a fun, energetic, and joyful journey filled with many great memories to be made. I stand by the statement that Diller is a place where diverse people unite as one powerful Jewish family, empowering the leadership of the future.”
