An ongoing tribute to the remarkable legacy and contributions of Julia Koschnitzky z”l, Honorary President of Keren Hayesod, the Kesher Seminar for Young Leadership embodies Julia’s leadership vision of championing the new generation of Zionist leaders.

This year’s seminar brought 25 young Jewish leaders from all over the world to Israel to see our impact on the ground and receive first-hand updates on Israeli security and political developments.

The participants also went to Keren Hayesod-supported projects around Israel to learn how our donations are put to use and meet the people of Israel whose lives our work impacts.

The Kesher Seminar functions as a bridge between the past, present, and future—connecting young Jews with Israel and experiencing our shared history from a front-row seat.

Our participants got a close look at the unique challenges facing Israel from a strategic, political, and cultural perspective, meeting with innovative Israeli professionals who are passionately devoted to tackling them on a daily basis.
