Living in Israel

Where exactly is the accommodation and what type of accommodation is it?

We have housing in the city center of Tel Aviv. You can view our accommodations here.

What happens during the high holidays, like Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur?

Most of Israel goes on vacation during that time, so you can take the chance to explore Israel on your own, or we could always connect you with a family to spend the holidays with. Housing will be open during the holidays.

What is a typical week like for interns?

Though it may vary for each placement, all participants will complete at least 28-35 hours a week and the rest of their time is for them! You can join a gym, volunteer, take classes – it is up to you.

As someone who doesn’t speak Hebrew, will I be able to do valuable work?

All of the businesses and organizations we work with understand they are bringing English speakers onboard, which means that all of your tasks will be conducted in English. More importantly- they’re looking for English speakers! You bring your skillset and they work with you from there.
