“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Nativ – Secret alleys, authentic cuisine, invigorating davening – Friends, Family, Home.”

“While on Nativ I found myself as a person within my group of friends. Became confident in who I was and came out of my shell as I found my voice in a crowd. This is how Nativ College Leadership Program in Israel has impacted my life. It gave me a chance to be myself while learning leadership skills and qualities I still use today.”
