Will the Masa United Hatzalah program be conducted in English?
Because Hebrew is a minority language in the world and our participants come from many different countries, we do not have a Hebrew knowledge requirement for our participants. Our programs are designed to take place in English, and everyone (no matter from which country they come) must have a high level of English language competency in order to be accepted on the program. You will definitely learn some great Hebrew while you are living inTel Aviv, and whether you are coming as a complete beginner or already fluent in Hebrew, we encourage you to use it for an enhanced experience in Israel.
Who will I be living with?
You will share your apartment with other participants on your program. Our apartments typically have a large common area with several adjoining bedrooms, 2 participants to each bedroom. Each bedroom contains 2single/twin beds.
