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. There are other long-term programs lasting a year (like Masa), short-term programs lasting a few months (like summer programs), and even shorter programs lasting a few weeks (like Taglit Birthright for those who have finished school) and Lapid or other high school programs.
