Client Organizations & Programs
Organizations which have subcontracted Nesiya to provide high quality programs in Israel include:
|

|
Harvard
Hillel
Nesiya, in partnership with
Harvard Hillel, conducts an intensive 15-day educational seminar in Israel for a
select group of undergraduate student leaders from Harvard, together
with a cohort of Israeli peers recruited by Nesiya. The program seeks to enable
students to confront the political challenges facing the Jewish people, to
strengthen their identification with the people of Israel, and to link this
identification with their own personal Jewish identity. This seminar is part of
the Netivot Israel Leadership Initiative, a comprehensive program to inspire and
enable student leaders to understand, appreciate, and support Israel on the
college campus.

“On Netivot with Nesiya I was able to
explore notions of self, community, and connection to Israel within a group
of Jewish students who have now become my friends.”
Rachel Butler, Netivot

Yale
Hillel
Nesiya works with Yale Hillel to conduct a two-week program in Israel for
Yale undergraduates and a cohort of Israeli peers recruited by Nesiya. Using
the study of classic texts, group experiences, and focused visits to places and
individuals, the program explores the great issues and challenges facing the
Jewish people today: identity, coexistence, war, ultimate meaning, and cultural
creativity. The Israel program is part of a year-long Netivot Fellowship, a
group that comes together to pursue these themes in off-campus retreats and
on-campus educational programs during the course of the academic year. |
