and university campuses. At the Jerusalem Prayer Banquet 2010, we
will strengthen the urgent work of the Israel
Experience College Scholarship Program, which takes the best and
brightest from campuses across the U.S. to Israel, bringing them back

Robertson, and Jewish leader Mr. Irwin Hochberg, by establishing Israel
Experience College Scholarships in honor of their remarkable accomplishments
on behalf of Israel.
