“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.”

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

“Nativ has impacted my life in so many ways. It enriched my already existing active Jewish practice with memories to relate them to. It gave me an opportunity to live in a different country and learn new customs and culture. Most importantly, it made my love of Israel even stronger.”

“Why Nativ? Nativ gave me friends for a life time, gave me direction on what kind of person I want to be and what I want to do, and two years after nativ that is proven because today I sat with a friend from nativ eating ice cream on an army base while we both serve in the IDF.”

“Nativ was the only time in my life that I was able to stop, look around, and figure out what was really important to me. We don’t get many opportunities like that in life, so thank god I had that for my time on Nativ.”
