Oranim Israel Programs

The Eilat Hotel Experience for me was, at first, a way to get away from my life for 6 months,. It turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. I originally was planning on returning to NY at the completion of my program, but somewhere along the way I fell in love with Israel, and decided to make Alyiah. I had no Hebrew before coming here, but by the end of my program I was taing all of my orders in Hebrew. I was a waitress at the Royal Beach in the VIP breakfast for the 5 months. I loved my job, became very good friends with my co workers, and now have a job at any Isrotel Chain should I decide I want one. Because of this program, I now have friends in 9 different countries. There are 9 countries in the world where I can go visit and have a place to stay if I wanted to. Honestly, this program changed my life. I thank Oranim for the opportunity to come here for the program, and now I can help other people have the same opportunity that was bestowed upon me.

Oranim's Tel Aviv Internship Experience provided me with all the essential tools to experience Tel Aviv as a "Tel Avivian" rather than just a tourist. Cultural integration was fostered not simply by hebrew lessions but also through a combination of volunteering, meaningful office work, and informal meetups with local students. The enrichment lectures and excursions supplied me with a cultural reference that allowed me toconnect with the Israeli people in a more profound manner than I could have imagined. I am estatic to be able to now call Tel Aviv my home, and I owe a large part of that transition to the Oranim organization.
