OWN CORRESPONDENT

The event, held to pay tribute to the 2018 graduating Diller Teen Fellows and welcome the incoming group, was about celebration, exchanging experiences, and giving advice to the 2019 group. Parents, and the heads of the King David High Schools, Lorraine Srage, and Andrew Baker, as well as Rabbi Kacev, the General Director of the South African Board of Jewish Education (SABJE) attended.

The Diller Teen Fellows programme is a premier Jewish leadership programme, which invites a select group of 11th Graders to join in a year-long journey of growth and development in building the next generation of Jewish leaders. The South African Zionist Federation is the custodian of the programme in Johannesburg, with the SABJE as partners.

Principals Srage and Baker highlighted how fortunate these teens are to be part of such a prestigious project and an international network of young leaders.

The programme bids farewell to Gilad Spitalnik, the outgoing Co-ordinator of four years, and welcomes incoming Co-ordinator Ari Chipkin.
