The Zionist Organization of America’s first team of high school fellows attended and were applauded at ZOA’s Brandeis Awards Gala, which took place November 20. The following is an excerpt from the announcement that was made from the podium:
“The Zionist Organization of America is proud to announce its first High School Fellowship, being piloted with the Scheck Hillel Community School in North Miami. In addition to ZOA’s tremendous work and involvement on college campuses, the ZOA High School Fellowship aims to prepare students for what they will encounter before they get to college, while also serving as a seamless transition for the students’ continued involvement with ZOA when they get to college and beyond, no matter the career path.”
The announcement continued: “The fellowship has already been launched with three exceptional senior year Hillel students, under the direction of ZOA Florida’s executive director, Sharona Whisler, and partnership with Scheck Hillel’s Capstone and Social Studies Department chair Yehudis Benhamou. We’d like to take a moment to recognize ZOA’s first High School Fellows…Abigail Winograd, Avi Bryan, and Jordana Zackon.”
