(The Whole Article Can Be Seen Here)

...Anyways, enough of politics, let's talk Torah! There have been lots of great developments for NCSY and OU Alumni to share. We right now have over 400 applicants for our Birthright Israel Trips (Twice the applicants as last year at this point http://www.israelfreespirit.com and we are recruiting Alumni to join YU for July in Jerusalem for the 2nd year and The OU JLIC Israel Fellowship. We are also announcing that we have successfully opened our alumni fund (Anyone interested in a dedication let me know) and are accepting applications for $500 grants to attend an Israel Program this summer for those aged 18-26 (College/Grad school age). We will hopefully expand the age bracket as our fund-raising success increases in future years! If you are interested in applying just send me an email as well as the name of the program. We send the grants directly to the program if accepted.
