On the way to exploring the shops of historic St. George Street, our Partnership2Gether Hadera-Eiron-SE Consortium teen delegation stopped for a meaningful journey through Jewish history at First Congregation Sons of Israel.

Robert Blau - author, retired diplomat, and AsOne Israel Trip participant - shared the story of the St. Augustine congregation and the founding families who helped build Jewish life there.

By learning about the resilience, vision, and legacy of earlier generations, the teens gained a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of Jewish communities that connect us across time and across the globe.

Our Partnership2Gether Hadera-Eiron-SE Consortium teen delegation enjoyed an inspiring leadership workshop at the Jacksonville Jewish Center led by AsOne Israel Trip participant, Dr. Rudy Jamison.
