About Us:


Jewish people, in all walks of life, pour in and out of Israel for a brief visit to the country of their heritage. Our umbrella company, Sachlav, has been around for 25 years and is all too familiar with the common complaint that one trip is not enough. Hence, Real Life Israel was born . Our team firmly agrees with this sentiment and is therefore committed to provide programming that will allow it’s participants to both become integrated with Israeli society as well as build a framework of professional enhancement. Passion for Israel is what drives the Real Life Israel team and this becomes apparent in the personal attention the team expends in every detail of the planning.


What Sets Us Apart:

  • Unique Programing: The Real Life Israel team sensed the additional possibility within the theme of semester long Israel integration. We utilized the structure of the initial programs as a launching point for further programming and then flew with it. Our response is the addition of the Research Program and the Israel Public Diplomacy Program. We feel that these speak of the depth of passion we feel for semester long Israel integration.

  • We Keep it Real: Real Life Israel is a humble organization that focuses all of their efforts on Masa programming. The size of our team and programs connotes our pride in conveying a homey, personalized atmosphere rather then a corporate environment. Our staff sets the tone of warmth and availability so that participants feel comfortable to pick up the phone and call us whenever a question or concern emerges. By the end of the trip participants will often relate to the staff as a group of friends and will appreciate our efforts in keeping in touch even after the program is completed.

  • Affordability: Profit is less important to the Real Life Israel staff then our feeling that no one should be excluded. Participants will find that although we are the most affordable organization, the content of the semester does not suffer but in some aspects even surpasses that which can be found elsewhere.


In short, what we offer is a unique program that will not only provide the tools to jump-start your career but also builds a genuine bond with the country which is already a part of you.


Why A Semester in Israel:


Real Life Israel is based on the real life experiences of native born Israelis as well as new and veteran Olim (immigrants to Israel) from the English speaking world and beyond. Research suggests that creating a successful life in Israel, particularly among young adults, rests upon the following three pillars:

  • Establishing a Successful Professional Life: Gaining the skill set necessary to carry you further both in your professional and personal life.

  • Creating a Fulfilling Personal Life: Building an extensive social network of friends, family and community as well as living in an area whose values you find comfortable and recognizable.

  • Enjoying the "Value Added" of Life in Israel: By taking advantage of Israel's amazing historic sites, great weather, four seas, diverse geography, interesting people, fantastic food, living Judaism, exciting cities, vibrant cultural scene and much, much more.
