our night with masa students

Tonight we had the privilege of sitting next to one of our five guests joining us from Masa, a long term program where they spend  5 months to a year in Israel for ages 18-30.  We sat with Sam who has an impressive resume for a 26 year old.  Sam is one of 20 people selected to participate in the Israel Government Fellowship, a joint program of the Jewish Agency for Israel supported by Federation funds as well as the government of Israel.  According to Sam, he views this fellowship as Israel's version of a White House Fellowship.  Listening to Sam as well as the other 4 Masa participants talk about the impactful experiences they are having because of us, was inspirational.
