The 248 Experience
The 248 program consists of Israeli and overseas Jewish professionals aged 24-48 who hold the potential of becoming the next generation of civic leaders in their communities. 248 participants are community orientated, have an entrepreneurial skill set, experience in developing social initiatives, and an open mind.
The year-long program explores the big issues faced by world Jewry today and offers the opportunity to pool creative resources in order to develop solutions to communal challenges of the Jewish polity. During the implementation phase, 248 participants will receive mentoring and network support for carrying out initiatives locally.
Our weekly 248 interactions occur in one of five formats:
Solo: Digest the weekly input of material and inspiration then upload your comments at your own convenience – from laptop or mobile, home or coffee shop.
Local Hub: Team up with your buddy Doers and your local coordinator to discuss big issues, to develop your ideas, and to provide feedback and support.
P2G: Get online with your overseas Partnership 248niks to refine your ideas in a P2G context.
Cohort: Participate in interactive webinars with renown Jewish educators, visionaries, innovators, and ideation experts.
Network: Join with the evolving 248 global community, including cohorts from previous years, for special occasions and events.
