“Shvut” is a special program of “Ami”, in conjunction with “Masa” program of the Jewish Agency, aimed at French speaking youngsters aged 18-30. The conversion program is solely intended for Aliyah permitted individuals who are grandchildren of Jews.
The gole is to prepare this young students for conversion and fully blend them into Israeli society. The program takes place in Yakir, a religious and calm settlement, that accompanies the students on their journey to Judaism.
The program takes place for a year, in which the students participate in 40 weekly hours of study if Hebrew, Jewish History, religion and culture. A rich program of trips and educational tours throughout the year assists in building their bonds to Judaism.
The participants volunteer in agriculture and the army for a week each during the program to get a feeling of the challenges in the Jewsih country.
Jewish and Hebrew studies are studied together, since they are not to be parted. This is the only conversion program in French that focuses on Jewish and Zionist life in Israel as part of becoming Jewish.
In the near future we are hoping to initiate new “Masa” programs in English, Spanish and German.
