Max Stern College of Emek Yezreel: Strengthening Jewish Identity

The Max Stern Academic College of Emek Yezreel, currently boasting a student body of over 4000 students in pursuit of a B.A. degree, is the fastest growing, accredited institution of higher learning in the Galilee.

Nearly 70% of its student body is originally from the FSU. GPG’s grant allows the College to run a Holocaust studies program that includes academic studies, workshops, visits to Yad Vashem, discussions with Holocaust survivors, and travel to Eastern Europe for exceptional students.

Genesis contributes to an exploration of Jewish identity by helping build a creative, multi-faceted Holocaust studies curriculum that will ultimately strengthen students’ sense of belonging to the Jewish people.
