“Nativ 32 grounded my dreams in reality. It opened my eyes to the possibilities of my future, and reaffirmed in my mind that working in the Jewish world was not only something that I want to do, but that it is my destiny. I learned that the best teachers are not necessarily the ones who have an official certification, but are those who are passionate about what they are teaching, and are invested in the future.”
— JoHo“I am so grateful for the ways in which the Nativ College Leadership Program in Israel helped us cultivate friendships through meaningful Jewish experiences and encouraged us to continuously explore our relationship with Judaism.”
— Becca Levin, Nativ 31“During my year on Nativ I met some of the best friends that I will ever have. We spent our second semester in Yerucham volunteering, hiking, camping, cleaning, cooking, and having the time of our lives. Without Nativ, I wouldn’t be the person that I am today.”
— Daniel Warshawsky“I can easily say, the day I decided to go on Nativ, was the day I made the best decision in my life. Nativ gave me the passion to stand up, the courage to take action, and the tools to know how to do so. Thanks to Nativ, I found my passion in life. The year I spent on Nativ was the best year of my life. That’s why Nativ. Because it is a truly life-altering, passion-finding, moment-making year.”
— Alli Penfil“Nativ has impacted my life by giving me some of the best memories and friends I have ever had. By taking this year, I got to really know myself and therefore make some of the most important relationships in my life. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the friendships I made on Nativ.”
