Come celebrate our 5th birthday with the Sci-Tech staff!
Korach: The Sci-Tech Ecosystem
In the parsha, it is apparent that Korach and his followers had a need that was not being met and that is why they separated themselves from the community. Not everyone needs a role that makes them stand out apart from the community, but everyone needs to know that wherever they fit into our ecosystem is important and invaluable.

Korach: Coming from a Place of Compassion and Love
Over the course of working with this supervisor I learned how to be a more compassionate mentor and person, and even though it was difficult it taught me a lot about myself and what I am able to overcome. I learned that no matter what any individual is going through, the greatest gift we have is being able to be there for each other.
7 Decades of Innovation in Israel: Science and Technology Partnerships
| 
On my most recent visit to Israel – in preparation for this summer’s URJ Sci-Tech Israel program – I noticed the presence of U.S. companies. Throughout Israel’s “Silicon Wadi,” the counterpart to our Silicon Valley, are research and development facilities for Google, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and others, intermixed with a vast array of Israeli start-ups, including Mobile-Eye, Orcam, StoreDot, and others.
The foundations for many of these research collaborations were establish during Israel’s third decade.
Yom Hashoah: Remembering Nicholas Winton
In honor of Yom Hashoah, we wanted to share this powerful video created by Sci-Tech Camper Jonathan Tamen. Jonathan’s video tells the story of Nicholas Winton, a British humanitarian who saved 699 children from Czechoslovakia during the Holocaust. We are so inspired by and proud of Jonathan’s beautiful and moving work.
