The seminar brings together some of the best and brightest Jewish teens from around the world to collaborate in an unparalleled community service and leadership development initiative. The Seminar, part of a year-long cultural exchange program for Jewish teens in the United States, Canada and Israel, aims to inspire and empower Jewish teens to be active, effective leaders with a strong Jewish identity, a sense of belonging and service to their community, and a responsibility to make the world a better place. Twenty exceptional 10th and 11th graders from each partner community are selected annually for the program from different Jewish denominations and traditions, representing a variety of cultural, socioeconomic and geographic backgrounds.
