Exploration of Physical and Cultural Landscapes of Israel

Nesiya programs consist of a regional curriculum which encourages participants to explore the physical geography and cultural/historical sites of Israel, and how they reflect specific themes and tensions in Jewish life – both ancient and modern. Nearly all Nesiya programs include extended periods in four regions of the country: the Negev, the Galilee, Jerusalem – Tel Aviv, and the Judean Desert.

I developed a stronger understanding of Israel’s history and a stronger connection to the land.
