Just over 2 weeks ago, Cohort 11 returned from Israel Summer Seminar (ISS!) 🇮🇱✈️
Throughout ISS, Fellows immersed themselves in Israel, connected with hundreds of Jewish teens from around the world, explored what leadership really means, strengthened their Jewish identity, and created memories that will stay with them for a lifetime.
From meaningful conversations and inspiring speakers, to late night ma’agalim, Shabbat together, and countless moments of laughter, every experience has shaped this cohort in a unique way!
As we head into the final chapter of this year’s journey, we can’t wait to see how these experiences continue to shape our Fellows, and the impact they’ll have on our community. 💙

We’ve been having such an incredibly inspiring experience on ISS so far. Today we said farewell to Global Congress 👋
Over the past 4 days, Fellows from all over the world have taken part in meaningful workshops, volunteering sessions & developed friendships for life.
We can’t wait to share more with you!

Last weekend, Cohort 11 came together for their Leadership Shabbaton. ✨
Planned and led entirely by the Fellows themselves, this was a weekend shaped by their vision, creativity and courage. From powerful peer led sessions to meaningful Shabbat moments, every detail reflected their growth as leaders and their commitment to each other.
They stepped up, trusted their voices and created space for connection, reflection and ruach. Watching them take ownership of the experience and back one another so wholeheartedly is the Diller impact in action.
So proud of this cohort and the leadership they are already bringing to our community 💙
A real staff team laughs at each other’s joke… no matter what!

Last weekend, Cohort 11 came together for our Jewish Identity Shabbaton ✡️🏕️
We spent the weekend learning, developing and questioning everything about our Jewish Identity, both as individuals and as a Cohort.
Over Shabbat, we engaged in meaningful discussions, prayers and an essential walk to the beach. We spent Shabbat switched off from the outside world! 🚫📲
As we brought Shabbat out, we celebrated with a Diller Disco, complete with ABSOLUTE HITS, fairy floss and bubbles 🫧
Returning home from Shabbaton joy to the heartbreak of the Bondi attacks reminded us how precious and fragile life is, strengthening our commitment to celebrate Jewish identity with pride, to keep showing up for one another, and to send our love and solidarity to the Jewish community at this painful time.
🇮🇱🇦🇺🕯️❤️
