Nesiya Institute

The Nesiya summer program is a transformational five week journey through Israel for North American and Israeli high school students from diverse Jewish backgrounds who have completed 10th, 11th, or 12th grades.

The program combines creative text study, community service, outdoor adventure in four regions of Israel, as well as arts workshops, developing self-awareness and communication skills that build a caring and trusting community- an ideal microcosm of the Jewish people.

Our participants go home invigorated to make a difference, as change agents who seek to help all individuals, from their family members to their communities and beyond. The Nesiya Institute has been running high-quality programming for 30 years, and our 3,000 alumni continue to have a strong impact on their communities and the Jewish world.

Applications are now open for the summer of 2015, please visit us at Nesiya.org, email info@nesiya.org, or call (516) 203-4611. We can't wait to spend the summer with you!
