UM Hillel Birthright Trip Visits Yerucham!

A number of students from University of Miami’s Hillel, one of seven Federation-supported Hillels throughout the state, recently participated in Birthright Israel. A highlight of the trip was their visit to Miami’s partnership city of Yerucham. The students spent the morning at the Veterans Museum, learning about the Russian-speaking community in Yerucham and the numerous Russian veterans who battled the Nazis during World War II. Participants concluded their day by meeting other Yerucham youth and celebrating Chanukah together, lighting candles and eating sufganiyot. Through a day of fun and engaging activities, the students were able to fully comprehend the significance of The Miami-Yerucham Partnership and its enormous impact on the Negev region.
