The Summer Israel Experience
This unique summer program brings you together with
approx imately
thirty
other socially conscious teens who have a desire to explore the land
of
Israel through the lens of Social Justice and Community Service.
You will
easily bond with this group through your orientations in the spring, and at
the same time get ready for the task of living with
twenty
Israelis over
the next
five
weeks. During the first
three weeks, the Israelis are
your hosts in Haifa, where you will stay overlooking the Bahai Gardens.
You
will work in the community at places like hospitals and animal shelters, and
you will also get to experience "home hospitality" by staying with
the family of one of the Israeli teens. During the next
three
weeks, you will reverse the process as the whole group will come back to
America
to help the Israeli's explore the American Jewish Experience and our
particular Social Justice Issues. This is only the
tip of the
Iceberg however as you will also get the opportunity
to tour, bond and learn
from each other.

Israel Experience contact
