AUJS Aviv - program highlights


Have a look at the AUJS Aviv program highlights (from 2006-2007).

Photo of camel riding For more than a decade, AUJS ran its highly successful long-term Israel program, Aviv. The program is now back and better than ever before! AUJS Aviv is the perfect opportunity to experience living in Israel while on a structured and organised program.

Departing in late January 2007, AUJS Aviv is a 5½ month program with both a sound structure and generous room for individual input from participants. The program will feature inspirational educational, vocational, political and leadership seminars, excursions, hikes and extensive sight-seeing. Participants will also have a variety of month-long program options to choose from, including the amazing opportunity to spend one of the volunteer periods living in the beautiful Negev town of Yeroham.

Another program highlight will be a week long side trip to Poland as part of an extended Holocaust education program.

During your volunteer period you can choose from a variety of challenging options such as Magen David Adom, Kibbutz, Yeshiva and Volunteering. You will also have extensive interaction with your Israeli counterparts through the Mifgash (Encounters) program, allowing the opportunity to make Israeli friends and gain an invaluable insight into Israeli life. If you really want to get a taste of real life in Israel, then AUJS Aviv is the program for you!

AUJS Aviv is also a MASA-approved program which means that many participants will be able to take advantage of generous scholarship funding (individuals on low incomes may be eligible for as much as US$5000).

Subsidy
MASA logoThe MASA scholarship is an individual means-tested scholarship provided to anyone between the ages of 18 and 30 (17 if the participant is a high school graduate) who wants to spend at least five months in Israel on a MASA-approved program.

The AUJS Aviv program is MASA-approved and participants will therefore be eligible to apply for the scholarship. The amount that you receive, if anything, depends on your family income.

Taglit - Birthright Israel

Taglit - Birthright Israel is a unique partnership between the people of Israel through their government, local Jewish communities (through the United Jewish Communities, Keren Hayesod and The Jewish Agency for Israel) and leading Jewish philanthropists.

Through this, Taglit - Birthright Israel provides a gift of a free 10-day educational tour of Israel for young Jewish adults aged 18-26 (17 if a school-leaver) who have never before participated in a peer-group educational trip to Israel.

The Zionist Federation of Australia Ltd (ZFA), together with the support and the initiative of the United Israel Appeal (UIA), is proud to represent the Australian Jewish community as the local partner in this exciting and ambitious project.
