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:

  • P2G: Get online with your overseas Partnership 248niks to refine your ideas in a P2G context.
