Real Life Israel | Israel Immersion Program

Participant Profile & Eligibility
Our participants -- who come from around the English speaking world as well as from Europe -- generally fall into one of two categories:
  • Those who would like a true-to-life immersion experience in Israel
  • Those who are considering living in Israel

Each individual enriches the program with his or her own history, lifestyle, outlook, education and personality. True to "real life" in Israel, RLI is made up of men and women from all backgrounds and affiliations -- Ashkenazi and Sephardi; secular, traditional and/or religious -- who share a love for, and a desire to experience life in, Israel.
