Israel Programs

Maccabi World Union brings to Israel more than 1,500 participants each year, mainly from South America, on short- and long-term programs.

Through our Yachad division, we develop meaningful recreational, educational and affordable programs for Jewish teenagers, young adults, young professionals, and adults from all over the world. These include Israel Startup Experience, Onward, Hachshara, and adult programs. 

Below are examples of just two of our programs.
