Youth Programs in Israel

Israel has many programs aimed specifically at connecting young Jews to Eretz Yisrael, whether through a vacation, work, volunteering or studying. Many of them are run by the Jewish Agency or are promoted through the organization, but the Progressive Reform Movement runs a few as well, like Shnat Netzer's year program.
