“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 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.”
— Adam Bender“Why do you need Nativ? Endless shawarma, beautiful mountains, constant adventure, living in the best cities in the world, the chance to learn and to teach, learn a new language, meet the most incredible people, be woken up every day by the Prime Minister, and live history. Did I mention endless shawarma? Asking why you need Nativ is kind of like asking why you need oxygen.”
— Scott Boxer“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.”
— Elan Keshen“Why go straight to college, when you could have the year of a life-time on Nativ?”
