Hillel Global Winter Program
Hillel is the largest pluralistic Jewish organization in the world for young adults and this Onward Israel experience joins together young adults from Hillel Latin America.
In addition to your internship 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. You will have time to explore other parts of Israel as well!
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, you will be exposed to the top leadership of Israel’s biggest companies with business visits.
