AUJS Academy
 |
| For almost half a century, the Australasian Union of Jewish Students has played a pivotal role in short and long term Israel programs which now send hundreds of Jewish students to our homeland every year. We're back in 2008, bigger than ever! We have more options available, so you can choose your ideal Israel experience. This year, in addition to Aviv, Birthright, LDP and The Poland Heritage Tour, AUJS is excited to celebrate the 45th year of the Academy program. AUJS Academy has become a landmark for Israel Programs in Australia and is being developed again with more special interest weeks & new exciting options. |

On AUJS Academy you will live and breathe Israel! You will visit the most important Jewish historical and religious sites including The Kotel, Masada and the Old City of Jerusalem, make life-long friends, meet young Israelis; and experience the adventure and excitement that only a longer program in Israel allows.
You'll learn about and meet with some of Israel's other communities including the Bedouin and Druze. AUJS Academy also provides you with additional option weeks (Gadna - Army Training, Desert Experience, Sviva, and Politics) as well as a variety of fascinating educational seminars and two free weekends.

- Sviva - "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it for our children"... The Sviva option offers participants the chance to see Israel's drive for environmental sustainability and development.
