The Israel Student Association is thrilled to announce our next President and Vice President, but before you swipe to see who’s taking the reigns, we’d like to give a warm send-off to Co-Presidents and ! Dan and Kenna have gone above and beyond in advocacy efforts for Israel. From popping misconceptions about the Jewish State to making soda in the middle of the Johnson Center using innovative Israeli technology, and even raising money for Israeli nonprofits to help save the lives of children with congestive heart failure, they’ve left an indelible impact on campus. Swipe to meet our next President and VP in order of appearance! @ Quarantine

It’s the fourth day of Israel Week! Israel isn’t all about technology and innovation, it also has a thriving culture. Today is focused on Israeli literature.

Amos Oz was an Israeli essayist, novelist, and journalist. He was the author of 40 books, including novels, short story collections, children's books, and essays, and his work has been published in 45 languages, more than that of any other Israeli writer. Oz is regarded as one of "Israel's most prolific writers and respected intellectuals", as The New York Times worded it in an obituary.

Check our page to see more of his work!

It’s day three of Israel Week! Today we’re talking about Israeli innovation!

Have you heard of Silicon Wadi? Yes, it’s a play on the term Silicon Valley used in colloquial Hebrew, but it isn’t far off from the truth! It describes the clusters of cities in central Israel that assemble some of the country's biggest innovators and has earned Israel the title of the “Start-Up Nation!” So many of our daily technologies come out of this cluster of industries, including the first instant messaging system, GPS like Waze, and parts of your phone! Do you recognize some of these companies?

Check in later to see how this innovation takes a foothold on the world stage! Be sure to visit and celebrate Earth Day! @ Silicon Wadi
