Manhigut (leadership): noun; a skill you develop whilst on UJS Manhigut

This winter, you have a chance to go on an exclusive high-profile trip to answer the burning questions you have regarding Israel today. You will have an opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the many facets of Israeli society, delve deep into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and explore the many complexities Israel is facing going forward.

Manhigut is a unique week-long trip where you will gain exclusive access to politicians, journalists and leading thinkers in both Israel and the Palestinian territories. It is a trip tailor-made for students interested in campus activism, where you will develop vital skills to
present yourself coherently in discussion and debate. When you get back, you'll be able to put these skills to use, alongside your newfound knowledge.
