“Being a Diller team fellow and JC gave me an incredible opportunity to develop skills and attributes that have helped me grow both personally and professionally. I also loved meeting Jewish people from around the world, showing me how varied and connected we are as a people. I would recommend this Programme to everyone!”
Enhanced Jewish Identity:
The program helps teens explore and solidify their Jewish identity, often leading to a stronger connection to their heritage and community.

Diller Partnerships
The programme is a commitment for the entire Fellowship year and includes a partnership model, which pairs each Diller community outside of Israel with a community in Israel.
The two cohorts connect and work together throughout the year. During a weeklong exchange called Jewish Community Mifgash (JCM), Israeli Fellows travel to their partnership community to deepen their understanding of Jewish life outside of Israel and form long-lasting personal relationships with their peers, who, in turn, experience hosting and seeing their community through the eyes of another.

“Joining Diller was one of the best decisions I ever made. It gave me an environment to meet amazing friends locally and around the world, which I never thought possible. It provided an opportunity for me to learn so much about myself and this gave me so much more confidence than before. It is an incredible, fun experience and everyone should take this opportunity.”
