Calling Educators: Help Israeli Students with English Fluency through Zoom Conversations
Applications are open for One2One, a Partnership2Gether program that connects educators with high school students in Hadera-Eiron, Nashville’s partnership region in Israel.
From January through March 2026, educators and students meet over a series of 10 Sundays for conversations, activities, and games to improve English fluency while building friendships. “No Hebrew is required, just a willingness to connect,” said Jessica Cohen Banish, Partnership2Gether Director in Nashville, “Students gain confidence in their English, while lasting friendships are built spanning cultures, generations, and oceans.”
Past Nashville participant Joan Mehlman shared, “I’ve really enjoyed using my skills to help someone else while also gaining a friendship and a new family in Israel.”
A stipend is provided upon completion. To learn more and to apply, contact Jessica Cohen Banish at 615-354-1650 or jessica@jewishnashville.org
