Global Hillel Onward Israel
Hillel is the largest pluralistic Jewish organization in the world for young adults and this Onward Israel experience joins together young adults from Latin America, Europe and the FSU in a truly global, high-level experience.
In addition to your internship and course, you will be exposed to the top leadership of Israel’s biggest companies. Hillel is the only Onward trip to include this in the program! The Hillel program also offers the only winter (your summer) experience for participants to live in top-of-the-line apartments in Tel Aviv. From the beach to the nightlife, Tel Aviv will become your home and you will have the opportunity to live as a local. But do not worry, time in Jerusalem and Eilat will also be part of your Israel experience!
The registration will be closing on November 25th
Build your resume through a high-level internship based on your skills, interests, and future plans. During your time in Israel, you will intern 4-5 days a week, and immerse yourself in contemporary Israeli society through group activities, a Shabbaton in Jerusalem, visiting different parts of the country and more. In addition to your internship and educational courses, you will be exposed to the top leadership of Israel’s biggest companies with business visits.
This Onward Israel program is operated through a partnership between the Beacon and Shapira Foundations and other leading philanthropists, and Masa Israel Journey. It is organized by Israel & Global Travel (IGT).
If quarantine is required for this program, the program will include this quarantine, providing virtual programming and the start of your internships while you are in your beautiful apartments.
