ISRAEL EDUCATION/TEXAS MISHELANU IS ONE OF OUR STRONGEST AND MOST ACTIVE MICRO-COMMUNITIES. ITS LEADERSHIP AND PARTICIPANTS PARTNER WITH OTHER STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND CAMPUS LEADERS TO CREATE ALLIES FOR THE AMERICAN-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP. OUR JEWISH AGENCY FOR ISRAEL FELLOW LEADS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND WORKS WITH STAFF AND STUDENT LEADERS ON TAGLIT-BIRTHRIGHT ISRAEL RECRUITMENT AND FOLLOW-THROUGH, STAFFS THE TRIP, ENGAGES STUDENTS ONE-ON-ONE AND PREPARES THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN THOUGHTFUL DISCUSSIONS IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL. WE SPONSOR ONGOING CONVERSATIONS AND PROGRAMMING AROUND ISRAEL AND STUDY CURRENT EVENTS THROUGH A JEWISH LENS. THESE HELP TO NORMALIZE PEOPLE'S UNDERSTANDING OF JUDAISM AND ISRAEL BY RELATING THESE TOPICS TO STUDENTS' EXISTING INTEREST, BUILDING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER CAMPUS GROUPS AND SERVING AS THE PRO-ISRAEL VOICE AT UT-AUSTIN. A HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR IS OUR ANNUAL ISRAEL BLOCK PARTY, THE LARGEST CAMPUS-BASED PRO-ISRAEL GATHERING IN THE REGION, WHICH ATTRACTS THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.
