Support Our Efforts
BRING visiting faculty and artists to teach contemporary Israel Studies on San Diego campuses for students of all backgrounds
Thank you for supporting modern Israel Studies at San Diego universities!
I went home yesterday and thought to myself how today was one of the most intellectually, enlightening and challenging days that I’ve had in a long time.
Thank you for an inspiring and eye-opening semester. I learned so much about how to think differently and globally.
This week gave us knowledge, connection, and perspective. We are not only better students, but more open-minded, curious, and connected individuals.
Many students express heartfelt gratitude for the course ‘opening a window’ to Israel. The immediate, positive impact of MGSDII’s work is invaluable.
YOU make it possible for us to:
Donations at an annual $1000+ level provide critical, sustaining support of our programs.
In appreciation, donors at this level are Salon Members who receive exclusive benefits,
including invitation-only salons, dinners, and performances with Israeli thought leaders and filmmakers.
