In the overheated cauldron of racism and antisemitism, I am thrilled to see an effort like this to find common cause for Jews and the minorities that suffer from American racism.
Melissa Landa, a remarkably talented faculty member at U. Maryland, has created a special program bringing first generation minority college students to Israel to study Israel’s education methods. This video, which she made, tells of the program, which began a few years ago. Melissa is currently raising funds by crowd-sourcing for the next version of the trip. I urge interested friends to contribute: https://www.indiegogo.com/…/taking-first-generat…/x/9483379…
