Young Judaea/ FZY’s Short Term Israel Program Department operates Israel Programs of 1-6 weeks. The programs are offered to high school students from both the US and UK, that wish to get a taste of the Israel experience. Our programs, which are both fun and educational, include: hikes, sightseeing, visiting and learning about different lifestyles in Israel, meeting with Israelis, social action, ulpan (learning Hebrew), different kinds of study and more.

The programs are open to participants who are involved with YJ/FZY and participated in movement activities in the past, as well as to newcomers who wish to have their Israel experience with Young Judaea/ FZY.

 

The department offers a variety of programs according to the different needs and interests of the participants. Some of the programs focus on walking the land of Israel while others focus more on getting to know Israeli society. The participants can also combine a trip to Europe, following the rich history of the Jewish communities there, along with their visit to Israel.

 

Other programs are specialized to appeal to those high school students who are interested in a specific field such as performing arts, outdoor, active challenges or a medical future – all of this occurring actually within Israel.

One of the highlights of our programs is that we interact with Israeli high school students, whether that means having Israelis in the group for a significant time and/or meetings with members of the Israeli Scouts whom we are closely connected with.
