TAMID is an investment in the future of the US-Israel economic relationship because we attract students who previously were not necessarily engaged with Israel. The relationship these students form with Israel will remain with them as they transition to professional careers, and it is important to show the Jewish and non-Jewish professional community that there are significant financial opportunities in doing business with Israel.

Through TAMID and the TAMID Summer Fellowship, we let students discover Israel for themselves. We enable students who have never lived in Israel to spend two full months exploring their professional interests and engaging daily with Israelis. All of the national TAMID summer fellows live in the same neighborhood and thus establish a strong network with young professionals from top universities across the United States who are eager to meet future friends and business partners. The Fellowship empowers participants to fully immerse in Israeli culture and lifestyle for the two month period, rapidly exposing them to Hebrew and Israeli chutzpah while also building strong relationships with prevalent Israeli business leaders and Israeli entrepreneurs.
