In addition to your graduate coursework, Master's in Israel includes a comprehensive Israel engagement curriculum from Oranim Educational Initiatives, Israel’s premiere educational tourism provider. The Oranim Advantage features:

• Hebrew Ulpan (Intensive language studies)
  Study the language of Israel in bi-weekly courses, intended to provide basic conversational fluency. In a matter of weeks you will be able to converse with new neighbors, order shwarma and begin to integrate into the vibrant cultural scene of Tel Aviv-Yafo.

• Meaningful Volunteer Work
  Engage in Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World) when you volunteer in Tel Aviv-Yafo communities, according to their needs and your talents. Volunteer coordinators work one-on-one with each participant to determine your passions and talents.

  After careful consideration and collaboration with community leaders, you'll be placed in a site with other participants doing something you love. Some volunteer opportunities include coaching sports, teaching English, leading after-school programming, working with seniors in eldercare, and assisting in animal shelters. By paying close attention to the individual desires of participants as well as the needs of the community, we provide the optimal environment in which you can succeed in your work, really get to know Israeli society and make an impact on its citizens.

• Travel
  Explore the cultural, national, religious and historical milieus of Israel on group excursions. Our calendar is packed with travel - two trips each month, and a handful of extended overnight trips throughout the course of your studies!

  With Master's in Israel you won't just visit sites, you will be touring Israel as part of a comprehensive curriculum which includes weekly lectures and programming - you will understand the historical, political and natural significance of the sites you visit so that you'll feel a connection to everything you see. Our trips are guided by the best educators and guides in Israel. Furthermore, only Oranim and JCC programs feature "Israelis Inside" TM "Let Israelis Show you Israel." Who better to plan and lead trips in Israel than the people who call it home? Just as you'd rely on a New Yorker to show you the "real New York" so too can you rely on us to show you the real Israel - its beautiful nature hikes, its sites both ancient and modern…this is our home, and by traveling with us, you will feel right at home, too!

• Lecture/Program Series
  Learn about the history, culture, religion, politics and contemporary issues of the peoples of Israel in our lecture and interactive program series. You'll learn about holidays and trips in advance of participation, you'll dialogue on hot topics in Israeli politics and society in a pluralistic, open and honest frame, and you'll be introduced to the culture of your host home!
