Food and Transportation
By living in their own apartments, often for the first time, and learning to grocery shop, commute and share space with roommates, participants develop important life skills that help them even after their year in Israel.
All apartments are single-sex and the number of chanichim (participants) in each apartment varies depending on the size of the apartment. Each apartment receives a stipend and is responsible for shopping and cooking together; each apartment is supplied with kosher cooking utensils.
At the beginning of their time in each city, chanichim are oriented to the community, local shopping establishments, bus routes and other relevant information about the neighborhood.
