Jerusalem always has something special offer to those who call the city home and it’s unique charm makes it hard for those to ever leave it. Ready to call this city home?

Testimonials
Hear what our past participants had to say about their summer experience!

Of course, balancing work with fun is an important aspect of Onward. This past week, I’ve tried new restaurants, explored new neighborhoods of Jerusalem, and bought my fair share of souvenirs and gifts for friends and family back home. On Tuesday night, my friends and I decided to try Ethiopian food at a restaurant located near our hotel. It was definitely unlike anything I’ve had before, and I’m glad I got to try it at an authentic restaurant.
On Wednesday, we had our Onward Boston event at Neve Ilan. We heard from various speakers, from foreign correspondents of the Washington Post to current MK’s, on topics such as Israeli innovation and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Our last speaker was David Horowitz, founder of Times of Israel and previous editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post.”
