NFTY-In-Israel
Many of our high school students, especially those who are entering 11th grade, choose to participate in an Israeltry-region> youth program. As a Reform Congregation, we highly recommend the NFTY in Israel program. Please visit the NFTY website for more information about this experience
EIE High School in Israel
For
the Reform teen looking for the ultimate in life experience, the Eisendrath
International Exchange High School in Israel is the time of a lifetime.
For over 40 years, the Reform Movement has been sending youth to Israel,
with this four-month or six and a half weekaccredited high school nestled
in the Judean Mountains
serving as the premiere program. Students live together, learn together
and grow together as a community as they explore four thousand years
of Jewish memory, learn Hebrew, and come to know Israel
as their second home. Go on EIE and connect with your history, your
land and your people!
If cost is keeping you from considering an Israel experience for your son or daughter, please contact , Youth Committee Chair, to discuss financial options
