Welcome
Background: The See Galilee program is a highly subsidized opportunity available to a select group of up to 10 highly motivated candidates between the ages of 20 and 28 who demonstrate a desire and capability to have an impact in the Galilee. The participants will travel Israel, receive Ulpan training, be connected with warm and friendly host families, meet Israeli peers, and receive education regarding issues and current events affecting the Jewish community in the United States and Israel.
