Zionist seminars

Over 40 years of inspiring connection and identity

The Annual Zionist Seminars have been a cornerstone of Zionist education in Australia for more than four decades. A joint initiative of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Zionist Federation of Australia, the program brings young Israeli educators (shlichim) into Jewish schools across the country.

Each year, six groups of 3 to 5 shlichim are placed in Jewish day schools, where they are integrated into the informal education teams. These passionate educators lead Zionist Seminars for high school students and engage the broader school community through a wide range of programs.

Their activities explore Israel, Zionism, Judaism, Hebrew language, and Jewish peoplehood, helping students forge meaningful connections with Israel and deepen their Jewish identity.

The impact of the shlichim extends well beyond the classroom – leaving lasting impressions on students, teachers, and the wider community through their personal stories, dynamic teaching, and genuine relationships.
