  Israel
    Jerusalem

Durations of Program: 7-12 months and 1-2 years
Typical Duration of Program: 7-12 months
Dates: Please contact us for the dates.

Description: Participants gain an insider's perspective while working and learning in three consecutive and distinct tracks, including immigrant absorption, areas of urban renewal, social service work experiences and kibbutz. Throughout the ten months (August-June) they move from place to place, interacting with people of diverse backgrounds throughout the country. The three tracks are woven together by an educational program where participants delve deeply into both the history and contemporary life of Israel and the Jewish people.

Highlights: Since its inception in 1986, over 1,200 young adults from Jewish communities across North America have participated in this unique program. Upon their return to North America, participants engage in Jewish communal life in a volunteer or professional capacity.
