The Ben-Gurion Heritage Institute, in conjunction with IsraelExperts – Initiatives in Education, offers post-college students an exhilarating chance to experience “hands on Zionism” in a way that brings to life the real experience of living in the Negev for six months. This special program exposes participants to the heritage of David Ben-Gurion, and provides insights into Israel’s history, Jewish Peoplehood, and the participants themselves. The program combines a rich study program and unique volunteering opportunities with Jewish and Bedouin populations in the desert.
