“I am so grateful for the ways in which the Nativ College Leadership Program in Israel helped us cultivate friendships through meaningful Jewish experiences and encouraged us to continuously explore our relationship with Judaism.”
— Becca Levin, Nativ 31“I absolutely loved being able to study at the Conservative Yeshiva for the first semester of my time on Nativ. I was able to bond with 15 other Nativers, as well as meet other people who were spending a year in Israel studying for various reasons. Being able to learn Jewish text with people of all ages and stages in life was truly unforgettable.”
— Eliana Horwitz“Nativ not only gave me the chance to build relationships with Judaism and my friends, it gave me the opportunity to build a lasting relationship with the country that I love.”
— Adam Bender“During my year on Nativ I met some of the best friends that I will ever have. We spent our second semester in Yerucham volunteering, hiking, camping, cleaning, cooking, and having the time of our lives. Without Nativ, I wouldn’t be the person that I am today.”
— Daniel Warshawsky“Nativ has impacted my life in countless ways. Without Nativ I would never have met some of my best friends in the world, or experienced some of my all time favorite moments. But most importantly, Nativ gave me the time and space to really get to know myself and grow into a more cultured and confident individual.”
