Your presentation and relaxed and practical approach to all aspects of the Aliyah journey without a doubt made us even more encouraged to go for our goal and get to Israel - our true home!!

Will they benefit from having more information about the Aliyah experience, and what awaits them once in Israel ? The Jewish Agency Aliyah Department is delighted to invite your teenagers (age 11 to 14) to take part in our 'Aliyah Teenage Workshop'. The workshop will provide teenage children with an opportunity to acquire knowledge about the Aliyah process from their perspective as children, and importantly, to get some answers regarding the issues that they may be concerned about, such as their integration into the school and into the teenage social circles. Most importantly, the workshop aims not only to relieve some of the worries associated with Aliyah, but also to enable them to see this journey as an opportunity, and to empower them to take charge of their own learning and integration process, and make it a success!


	Essential knowledge and strategies for crossing cultures: The different phases of the Aliyah process. How to handle changes and uncertainty. Building realistic expectations. How to cope with the farewell stage. How to manage the transition period. Learning Hebrew and adjusting to the school. Cultural orientation: the Israeli youth culture. And much more….
