Jerusalem, Israel Tuesday, December 7th, 2010, Bring It In - Israel Winter Fellows met with David Kramer Founder of the NU Campaign, a company that promotes Israeli causes through awesome T-Shirts that tell the story of the cause. Kramer spoke with the Fellows about the power of a story to teach people, connect them to a place, and inspire. Kramer encouraged the Fellows to find their own stories during the Bring It In - Israel Fellowship, and share them with youth back in North America. In the spirit of Hannuka, Kramer went on to tell Fellows a story from his youth, growing up in South Africa, about how a small spark can change the world.

As part of the Bring It In - Israel Fellowship, each Fellow received a NU Campaign shirt. According to Bring It In - Israel Head Coach David Lasday, "We at Bring It In - Israel feel that it is important for Fellows to compile and share their own personal stories from their experience as part of our program. Moreover, as Israel Sports Educators they have the platform to promote the stories of other amazing Israeli causes and successes. The NU Campaign is doing important work and we were lucky to have Kramer come talk with our group." The Fellows were so excited about the NU Campaign Shirts, that they are making plans for Kramer to come speak with their perspective long term Israel programs

Kramer and Lasday took the opportunity to talk with the group about their experience as 2010 PresenTense Summer Global Fellows, telling fellows about the different tools, skills, and networking the PresenTense Fellowship offered. Kramer told the Fellows that due to the group pitching throughout the PT Fellowship, he knew the inside outs of the Bring It In - Israel Fellowship before it ever came into exstence.

Fellows left the sessions inspired to hone their own stories from their Bring It In - Israel experiences, in order to educate and connect Jewish youth in North America to Israel.
