The Maccabi World Union actively organizes a large variety of education related activities, programs and events. Education is one of the organization’s key values, and today we boast educational resources for adults, youth, children women, the physically disabled, new Israeli immigrants and many more. Some of our programs include family trips to Israel, internship opportunities in Israel, the highly popular March of the Living program, and volunteer services in disadvantaged communities.
We are always looking for new ways to broaden our horizons, and we thus have new and updated programs frequently added to the list. Stay updated through the website and please read in more depth about the different areas of education we pursue.
