Different ways to see Israel
The Upper West Side will focus on education and connection to Israel through a range of stories, individuals and initiatives representing Israel’s diverse and democratic society.
Our programs will offer different angles to see Israel: home; diversity; achievements; “justice justice you shall pursue” (tzedek, tzedek tirdof); “out of the box;” “not perfect, but beautiful;” shared journey/destination; “between NYC and Israel”; and much more..
