Project Oren Kibbutz Programs

Mission Statement:
Project Oren Kibbutz Programs offers an experience unlike any other in Israel. Students live, work 3 days a week in one of the kibbutz branches, and study Hebrew 3 days a week on kibbutz for either a summer or a semester. By working with kibbutzniks and studying Hebrew with fellow ulpanists, students have the opportunity to see Israel from the inside while creating their own community. Students also participate in rich program of stimulating lectures and trips throughout the program that discuss various Jewish issues, such as Zionism, Israel-Diaspora relations, history, the peace process, and more. Lastly, Project Oren also offers three educational tracks for the semester programs from which the participants choose one particular topic to study: Creative Arts; Israel through Drama; or Jerusalem Studies and Archaeology. These topics are studied twice a week through lectures, trips and workshops.
