MAKING CONNECTIONS

PARTNERSHIP2GETHER LEADERSHIP PROGRAM BRINGS ISRAELI TEENS TO GREENSBORO

From July 21-28, Greensboro hosted six Israeli teens and their chaperones as part of the Partnership2Gether (P2G) Leadership Summer Program. These teens, representing some of Israel's most promising young leaders, traveled to experience and learn about Greensboro's vibrant Jewish community.

During their stay, the P2G teens participated in Camp Gan Israel at Chabad and both camps at B’nai Shalom Day School and Temple Emanuel. They toured the Holocaust Memorial Monument “She Wouldn’t Take Off Her Boots” and celebrated Shabbat with residents at Well-Spring. The group also met with community leaders and rabbinic leadership, gaining insights about Jewish life here in Greensboro.

Many thanks are extended to the generous host families and volunteers, as well as the professionals who made this summer P2G experience possible. Their time and effort provided the Israeli visitors with an intimate look at the Jewish community of Greensboro, fostering new friendships and deeper connections.

Partnership2Gether is committed to creating meaningful, lifelong bonds between Israelis and Diaspora Jews. Programs include teen summer travel and host exchanges, educator exchanges, and partnered classrooms. These connections deepen Jewish identity and strengthen resilience by demonstrating that Jews everywhere are part of the same family and responsible for each other.
