Young adults enjoy a variety of educational opportunities through the Maccabi World Union (MWU). Among the most popular are two-week tours of Israel, which allow participants to connect with the homeland and its people.
For those who demonstrate a higher level of Zionist commitment, MWU also offers year programs, which help participants find internship opportunities in Israel in the industries of their choosing. MWU’s March of the Living programs, which bring participants face to face with the horrors of the Holocaust, are also extremely popular.
