4Front & the Associated’s Israel Insight Forum presents…

For Parents & Teens (11th & 12th grade)
Conversations about Israel on campus continue to evolve and have become increasingly complex. What types of Israel-related discussions might we encounter in college? What are the terms we need to understand in order to be prepared for the nuanced dialogue ahead? Along with expert educators Dr. Noam Weissman and Sarah Gordon from OpenDor media, we will explore how to prepare for Israel conversations on campus. Parents/Guardians & teens in 11th & 12th grade are invited to join The Associated’s Insight Israel Forum and 4Front for this important discussion. The session will begin with both parents and teens together, followed by a separate parent and teen conversation. Snacks will be provided.
