The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago will again help underwrite summer and long-term study programs in Israel for qualified Jewish high school students.
Funds totaling nearly $40,000 are available for partial scholarships to applicants who have demonstrated leadership ability and a desire to gain a deeper understanding of Israel, the Chicago Jewish Community and the links between them, said Neil Greenbaum, Chairman of the Federation’s Jewish Education Committee. In 1976 the Federation awarded a like amount to more than 60 students.
Programs offered meet a wide range of interests. Including archaeology, Hebrew language study and community service. Applicants will receive guidance in selecting from among the 28 types of programs available. The Summer-in-Israel programs are sponsored by various youth, synagogue, school and community groups. The scholarship applications will be received by a special Federation committee co-chaired by Hy Natovich and David Jacker.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
