The I-team Fellowship is a club that has been meeting throughout the year under the leadership of co-Chairs, Ezra Saragossi and Noam Tansman. This club has a committee of students that meets regularly to develop leadership in Israel advocacy. Students hear from a variety of speakers and gain insights into the history, politics, economy and culture of the State of Israel. This empowers the students to take leadership roles in local and national organizations that interest them.
On Monday, January 18, 2016, at the Boca Raton Resort and Club, ten students from Rosenblatt High School at DKJA attended the South Palm Beach County Annual AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) Event. This is a precursor to the AIPAC National Conference in Washington, DC.
The honored guests speakers where Staff Sergeant Robert Bartlett, Iraqi War Veteran, and local area Rabbis, Rabbi David Baum, Rabbi Jessica Spitalnic Brockman and Rabbi Efrem Goldberg.
AIPAC is the only American organization whose principal mission is to lobby the U.S. government about legislation that strengthens the relationship between the United States and Israel. AIPAC is not a political action committee. It does not rate, endorse, or contribute to candidates.
Students networked with community leaders, led Hatikva, and were inspired by the program.
Shabbat Shalom,
