For me Year Course was the most incredible, inspiring and important year of my life.

Year Course may be the most intense and long-term program which FZY runs, however possibly the most well known is the one-month Israel Tour.  The Manhigut (leadership) program aims to train up the future leaders for FZY and the Jewish community and as part of that it was felt necessary for the group to learn how to guide a group around sites.&#160; &#8230; <a
