ISRAELI COLLEGE STUDENTS TO DISCUSS LIFE IN ISRAEL
DURING APRIL 1 VISIT TO MOUNT HOLYOKE

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. – Three Israeli college students will visit Mount Holyoke on Tuesday, April 1 for a discussion of the experience of life in Israel. The students, who are part of Israel at Heart, an independent, nonprofit group now touring American college campuses, will speak at 6:30 PM in the lounge of Eliot House, the College's center for religious and spiritual life. Their appearance, sponsored by the Jewish Student Union and the Israeli Consulate, is open to the public.

The students, chosen for the diversity they represent, will be able to give a firsthand account of the reality of life in a country that many know only through news reports. Israel at Heart is committed to promoting a better understanding of Israel and its people and does not represent any government agency or political party.

Members of Israel at Heart have made appearances in California, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC, speaking at colleges, high schools, synagogues, media outlets, political arenas, and other similar venues.
