A deposit of $1,000 is required to secure your place on one of Oranim's Long Term Israel Programs. Once your deposit is received, you will have 14 days to cancel your application and receive a refund. After 14 days, any cancellations will not receive any refund.

Payment in full for the tuition for the program is due no later than 30 days prior to the beginning of the program.

Payments are accepted electronically only. Our Payment Center allows payment by all major credit cards. When paying with a credit card, you will incur a 3.5% service fee. If you have a US bank account, you can make your payment via electronic check with no service fees.

Payment is based on the program package rate for the services listed in the program agreement. Oranim uses confidential negotiated industry rates and will not provide a breakdown of costs of the package.

In programs that require a $1,000 deposit, we will refund your deposit up to 60 days after your successful completion of the program.

Part of the tuition of your program depends on a grant from MASA. The money from this grant is not given to Oranim until after the completion of the program. If a participant leaves the program at any time, no money is given by MASA to Oranim for the participant.

For this reason, in addition to the Deposit and Tuition, Oranim is also requesting security checks to be held until the completion of the program. These checks will not be deposited unless the participant leaves the program before its completion. Since the amount of grant money from MASA varies by age, so does the security checks.

All participants are required to provide two checks in the amount of $1,500 each (USD). The checks should be dated with specific dates. One check should be dated the start date of your program. The second check should be dated 90 days later.

These checks are to be sent to our US office. You must include the Security Check Form in the envelope with your check(s). Please download the Security Check Form here.

If you cancel more than 30 days before the start date of the program, a full refund of tuition paid will be given (excluding the $1,000 deposit). If you cancel 15-29 days before the start date of the program, a 50% refund of tuition paid will be given (excluding the $1,000 deposit). If you cancel 5-14 days before the start date of the program, a 25% refund of tuition paid will be given (excluding the $1,000 deposit).

All cancellations must be sent by email using our Contact Us form.

Oranim requires participants to be covered by Israeli medical insurance. Participants are required to by the medical insurance package from Oranim (except for programs that include insurance) that covers them for the entire length of their program. If a participant leaves the program for any reason prior to its completion, the insurance package is canceled and no refund is provided.

If you leave the program - due to expulsion or a personal decision - you will lose your program deposit and will receive no refund on your tuition. You will also risk losing one or both of your $1,500 security checks. The amount deposited will be at the sole discretion of Oranim.

In case of force majeure, the only penalties we will charge will be those charged to Oranim by our suppliers. In no case is Oranim required to present justification for the penalties and their amounts.

In case of participation cancellation during the trip, no refund will be given for unused services and all expenses and all costs relating to returning the participant to his or her home will be the sole responsibility of the participant. If you are removed from the program before its completion, the above terms apply.
