This summer, our JNFuture Leadership Institute Mission (JLIM) is coming home for a visit and experiencing Israel up close.
An invitation-only experience for members and leaders of JNFuture, JLIM brings together some of the brightest emerging Jewish leaders from across the United States for an immersive journey throughout the Jewish homeland. From the northern Galilee to the southern Negev desert, participants explore Israel's past, present, and future while deepening their own understanding of Zionism and what it means to play a role in the Jewish future.

One of the things that excites me most about our Muss participants is that they come to Israel with different interests, different talents, and different ways of engaging with the world.
Some are drawn to history. Others are inspired by innovation and entrepreneurship. Some connect through volunteering and service. Others find meaning through adventure, culture, and relationships. The beauty of our study abroad in Israel experience is that there is truly something for everyone, and each participant can discover their own personal connection to the land and people of Israel.

One of my favorite signs of summer is welcoming a new group of college interns into the Jewish National Fund-USA family.
Each of these interns is a natural leader on their college campuses, from actively participating in Chabad and Hillel to being an organizer of a university dance-a-thon. That leadership shines through in the incredible support they provide to their departments.

Today, young adults are desperately searching for meaningful ways to make a difference. Our new Israel Leadership and Service Cohort offers them exactly that.
Now in its first year, this is an immersive eight-month program that empowers adults to live, learn, and lead in Israel while making a meaningful difference in communities across the country. Based at our new, state-of-the-art Muss campus in Be'er Sheva, members of this cohort will teach English, volunteer with local organizations, and gain the skills that will make them tomorrow’s leaders.

As I spend time with the next generation of young people, I find myself increasingly optimistic about the future.
These leaders are not connecting to Israel because someone told them they should. They are connecting because they want to share in the leadership, education, and purpose that can only come from firsthand experiences.
What gives me confidence is that all of these people are choosing to engage. Their curiosity, their passion, and their willingness to lead show me just how bright our future will be. The accomplishments of these young leaders may not always be measured in the next year, but it will be seen for decades to come.
This is our broader vision in action: cultivating the next generation of leaders who will strengthen Israel and inspire others. Every young person who engages with Jewish National Fund-USA is an investment in the future of Zionism. A future defined by enthusiastic, passionate people who build meaningful relationships with Israel and carry those experiences forward into their communities, careers, and lives.
And after spending time with these remarkable individuals, I can say with confidence: the future is in very good hands.
As always, feel free to connect with me at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Russell F. Robinson
