Legal Aid's executive director Colleen Cotter is among forty Cleveland leaders selected to travel to Israel in June 2019.
Known as the Thomas and Joann Adler Civic Leaders Israel Mission, the biennial week-long trip was launched by the Adler Family of Shaker Heights through through an endowment at the Jewish Federation of Cleveland in Beachwood.
The trip is meant introduce participants to Israel’s economic and community development, education and support of at-risk populations, and to create partnership opportunities.
Trip participants attend seminars with high-level officials to explore issues facing Israeli society and learn about the complexities of the region. They also will meet with Israeli counterparts to facilitate institutional and one-on-one relationship building.
The trip is part of the Federation’s Community Relations Committee which works to strengthen the ties of the Jewish community to the general community.
