Last time Zionists had this much fun on a beach, they were founding Tel Aviv!

YZL 2012 starts THIS Friday, January 20th in Miami and we just can’t wait! The weekend will be packed with exceptional seminars, keynote speaker Israel Miamon, Israeli “Shir Rechov” culture night, and amazing  college students and on-campus representatives  from all over the U.S. and Canada! 

 

Mark your calendars, pack your swimsuit, its time for the annual YZL brought to you by the World Zionist Organization Dept. for Diaspora Activities of North America!

Tell me more! 

What to know what the weekend will look like? No problem! Three full days of seminars and sessions that match you with people in your region in your field (based on student, on-campus professionals, youth movement leaders, or shlichim status).  The conference will feature discussions on hot topics- the relevance of Zionism, Israel today, and where YOU fit in! Enjoy lectures by Nir Braudo (Central Shliach of the WZO) and a special guest from the Israeli Consulate.
