Through the Lonnie Dounn fellowship, J Street U is thrilled to offer opportunities for American students studying abroad or traveling to Israel to witness the Occupation firsthand. With partner organizations, we offer heavily subsidized tickets for American college students to tour the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and more.
