What happens if the security situation in Israel gets worse?
While the Israel Summer Seminar is critical to the Diller Teen Fellows experience and there is no comparable substitute to an Israel experience, safety of the participants is clearly the top priority. If the security situation deteriorates to a point where we cannot confidently ensure the safety of the participants, alternative arrangements for the summer seminar will be made. For example, the San Francisco DTF group was scheduled to leave for Israel at the height of the war in July 2006. Instead of traveling at that time, an alternative summer seminar was created locally and instead the Diller Teens traveled to Israel over Passover in 2007.
