ABOUT

The Consulate General of Israel in New York and the World Jewish Congress invite college students at the graduate or undergraduate level in the Tri-State area to pitch their idea for a campus event, strategy or initiative that takes a new approach to Israel, antisemitism or inter-community/faith relations. All students that submit their proposal will be automatically entered to win a ticket to the Consulate's annual Yom Haatzmaut Gala at Chelsea Piers. 

 

The top 10 students will move onto a second round, where they will create a presentation of their plan, and of them 5 students will be chosen to pitch their proposals to a panel of entrepreneurs, CEOs and global Jewish leaders in February, 2017.
