Shalhevet 2009

Shalhevet ("flame" in Hebrew) is a transformative journey to Poland and Israel for Bay Area High School Juniors and Seniors. Inspired by March of the Living, Shalhevet is a way for local Jewish teens to participate in a program specifically tailored to the educational and cultural environment of the Bay Area. 

Regional seminars run from January to May and the group will travel March 16-March 30, 2009.

· Learn about the thriving Jewish culture in Poland before WWII and today.

· Witness the concentration camps through the eyes of a survivor traveling with the group.

· Meet with Polish and Israeli teens to get a taste of their lives.

· Experience Israel: the people, the culture and the homeland.

· Examine today's political and geopolitical challenges in Israel.
