HUC-JIR Establishes Koret Foundation Scholars Program
The commitment to Israel is a core tenet of HUC-JIR’s mission. The YII Program was established in 1970 to foster a vibrant connection to Israel and Jewish peoplehood among the future clergy and educators leading North American Jewry. This year-long educational and experiential program is based at HUC-JIR’s Taube Family Campus in Jerusalem.
