Program Schedule Information
The standard work commitment we encourage is 3-weeks. Volunteers must begin a work program on Sunday or Monday during the year (programs end on Thursdays), except for the holiday black-out dates noted on the schedule below.
We also do accept 2-week commitments, as we understand that it is difficult for many participants to schedule 3-weeks away from job and family responsibilities. Participants in a 2-week program should arrange to arrive in Israel to begin their work on Sunday. The two week and three week work program will start together. People staying for two weeks will leave the program early.
Please see the section "Getting to Israel" for important details regarding the required arrival time of your flight to Israel to begin a work program.
SPECIAL NOTE -Israeli and Jewish Holidays: Please note that you may be required to leave the base during holidays. Be prepared to make your own arrangements for accommodations during these times. Your group leader (madricha) should be able to assist you.
