(NEWS) 1,000 Israeli Youth 'Ambassadors' Head To America

"More than 1,000 Israeli youths will be leaving for the United States in the upcoming weeks to serve as Zionist 'ambassadors' to American youth. The Israelis will work at Jewish Agency camps, teaching about Israel and Israeli society and culture.

They will disperse to approximately 200 Zionist and Jewish camps in North America, which are attended by a total of 150,000 children. The counselors have already completed their IDF or national service, and they looked to the Jewish Agency as a new way to contribute after fulfilling their mandatory service."
