      on

      Israel’s coalition politics is in the midst of an upheaval, and NFTY-EIE was on hand at the Knesset recently to see firsthand how the Israeli multi-party system works for the Jewish state.

    • From Student to Teacher and Back

      on

      I first heard about NFTY-EIE as a 15 year old at camp. I had always identified strongly with my Judaism and felt like it was a very important part of my identity. But I remember feeling a disconnect between this feeling and my lack of knowledge.

    • The Final Week of the Spring 2016 Semester

      on

      It is hard to believe that this is the last week of EIE Spring 2016! On Friday, our students will be back in their parents' arms and homes, leaving Kibbutz Tzuba, their madrichim, teachers and administrators behind (at least physically). I am certain that our parents are very excited for their return.

      on

      The theme of the last two days might be called "Fun & Security!" Thursday and Friday had elements of each, both literally and figuratively. Let me explain.

    • A Challenging Hike, but a Symbol of My Strength

      on

      Over a ten day break from classes late last month, we had many new and unique experiences. All of us on EIE went to possibly our first Israeli Passover and experienced hiking from sea to sea.

    • Passover in Israel and Hiking from Sea to Sea

      on

      Israelis are born with an extra gene called the L’Tayyel or Hiking Gene. Ask most Israelis what hobbies they have and, almost without exception, they will tell you they love hiking. It seems everyone here goes out during the Passover and Sukkot vacations to hike the entire country.

      on

      Recently, our Spring students went on a graffti tour of the Tel Aviv neighborhood of Florentin. Nathan describes the tour in detail, led by EIE teacher Aaron Gertz, and the unique graffiti that has appeared in the neighborhood.
