About the program
The Aardvark Israel Program offers Jewish students from around the world the opportunity to live in Israel for a year or semester, in a customised, tailor-made program. The beauty of Aardvark Israel, and what sets it apart from other programs is the opportunity to Intern and volunteer; participants choose from a long list of unique internship and volunteering opportunities at impressive companies and organizations.
Participants also get to explore the hidden gems of Israel, through weekly trips and excursions, study fascinating topics including Hebrew, participate in group activities and enjoy independent living in furnished apartments in the centre of Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. The experienced staff and high ratio of staff to students allow Aardvark Israel to cater to the different interests of its student population, who come from a wide range of countries and backgrounds.
Students can choose to customise their experience further by adding special interest programs, international trips and the opportunity to work in an American Jewish Summer Camp.

In Their Words
The Memories, feelings and connections I was able to forge have been life changing.
The experience was truely unforgettable
Aardvark Israel has helped shape and strengthen my Jewish and Israeli Identity.
I was able to live like a local and experience the ins and outs of Israeli culture with so many unique experiences.
The diversity of the programming allowed me to experience it all the tiyulim, the classes, the travelling and of course the Shabbatons.

My time with birthright was nothing short of incredible, it's curated to help create a sense of closeness to your group, our people and our land. The memories, feelings and connections I was able to forge with the help of birthright have been life changing.
