About This Program
The program consists of a core component of remote work, enhanced by weekly site visits, workshops, a Shabbat retreat and additional content elements designed with two purposes: to deepen the participant's knowledge of and connection to Israel and their Jewishness and to further their ability to successfully integrate such content into their professional work.
In addition, by spending the month with a cohort of other early Career Jewish Professionals, participants will build a robust professional network.
Important Information

Program Cost
There is no program fee for this program and a flight to and from gateway cities in North America is provided without extra charge.

Participants will be required to submit a $400 participation & security deposit. Deposits will be refunded at the end of the program based on good standing.
