Your giving matters

I want to thank the Jewish Studies Program for encouraging and granting students here at Indiana University the opportunity to study abroad in Israel. I gained a new sense of connection and appreciation for Israel and my Judaism. . . . I was exposed to different viewpoints daily and engaged in friendly discourse about Judaism, American, and Israeli politics.
