CURIOUS ABOUT LIFE IN ISRAEL?

If you are interested in short or long term programs or visits in Israel, Tnuat Am can link you up with resources and information including links to a Conservative (Masorti) community in Israel. If you are interested in the ultimate step, aliyah, Tnuat Am can help you explore the way with information about employment, education, housing, finances, learning Hebrew, pilot trips and more.

New Program Launched

For those who are interested in aliyah, we have a new program to ease the way on the long road to a successful absorption. Although there are many agencies to help new immigrants (olim), including our own Masorti Movement, AACI (Association for Americans and Canadians in Israel), and the Jewish Agency, a new program has been proposed to us by Rabbi Paul Freedman and his wife, Nina. Paul (who is Head of the North American Desk of the Department of Jewish and Zionist Education of the Jewish Agency) and Nina made aliyah in l99l. They have volunteered to set up an "Adoption Program". Simply put, interested olim, either single or family, would be matched with an appropriate family in Israel to help olim "learn the ropes". Paul and Nina will be there in Israel to coordinate and facilitate the "adoptions", as long as we know in advance who would like to be "matched".

Whether for short or long term stays or aliyah, Israel needs you and wants you now more than ever!
