This week we said good goodbye to the October 2007 session of the WUJS Institute in Arad, which was made up of 40 Jewish students from around the world, all of whom are university graduates, some of whom had completed advanced degrees and worked in different professional fields. We parted ways and said our goodbyes —participants and staff, and the participants with one another—with heavy hearts and tears. With the successful conclusion of the program, the staff eagerly plans for the next session in Arad, which begins in May, and for the brand new WUJS Arad program Zman Tel Aviv.
