3. Subsidized immersive travel experiences to Israel and a hosting experience.
4. Optional mentorship experience.

TIMELINE:
The program will commence in November 2021 with 1 webinar and 1-2 local hub meetings per month until June 2022 (6-month program). Contingent on the COVID situation, the cohort will travel to Israel January 27-February 2, 2022. The Partnership cohort from Rehovot, Israel will visit Minneapolis May 11-17, 2022.

Are you available to generally commit to meeting bi-weekly Dec 2021-May 2022? Meetings will alternate between global webinars, Partnership2Gether calls, and virtual/in-person local hub meetings. *
Global webinars are held with all members of the 248 cohort (from the US, Canada, and Israel) and focus on topics of Jewish peoplehood, Jewish identity, community-building, and creating successful initiatives. Partnership (Partnership2Gether aka P2G) meetings will be with the Rehovot, Israel cohort (Minneapolis' sister city!), and focus on the relationship between American and Israeli Jewish communities. Local hub meetings will be with Minneapolis cohort participants, alumni and/or Federation volunteers, and dive deeper into the themes introduced in the global webinar and on our travel experiences.

Travel
Global travel and visiting with Israeli and North American Jewish communities is a critical part of this program. The 248 team is dedicated to the health and safety of all participants. While all travel is subject to change due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are hard at work to continue providing meaningful travel experiences and conferences for our 248niks.
Please confirm you are able to attend the following events as part of the 248 program:
Check all that apply. Attendance is expected at all events unless extenuating circumstances.
Please confirm you understand the expectation that 248niks will attend all/ most programming in May 2022 when the Israeli delegation visits.
The 248 cohort from our partnership city, Rehovot, will host us in Israel in Jan/Feb 2022 and we will host them in May 2022. We expect our 248 cohort to prioritize spending time with them during their visit here. We are not asking for a firm time commitment at this time, but ask that participants confirm their intention to make the exchange experience meaningful for our visitors.
