 Masa Israel program alumni came together on Sunday July 18th at UJA Federation of New York for a day long leadership summit featuring workshops on speaking about their Israel experience, Israel education in the 21st century, Israel advocacy, designing the new Masa Israel alumni community and for a panel discussion featuring four young Jewish entrepreneurs. 

Reflecting about the summit, Masa Israel program alumna Lara Porter said "being able to meet fellow alumni, the speakers and the panelists really gave me the opportunity to connect with peers and real life role models – now I know how I can use my Israel experience to make a difference."
