HOW THE YEAR WORKS
Year Course is a professionally run, exciting and challenging full-time programme, which is designed to give chanichim an in-depth understanding of the complexities that make up modern Israel. The year is made up of three semesters, each lasting three-months. Everyone will participate in formal studies, volunteer throughout Israel, and have an opportunity to experience a new and different aspect of Israeli society.
All of the Year Course participants will be with American chanichim from Young Judaea, and members of the Israeli Scouts (Tzofim), as well as FZY chanichim from all over Britain.
THE MAIN ELEMENTS OF YEAR COURSE
Year Course contains a number of major components. The following is a brief outline of each of these elements; click the links for more detailed information.
Studies
On FZY Year Course, chanichim have the opportunity to study throughout their year. Throughout their studies, participants will grapple with issues which are relevant to young British Jewish Zionists today. All studies are augmented by educational seminars and day trips in and around the local city. The studies are high level, serious and intense and chanichim should bare this in mind when applying for FZY Year Course. Learn more
Volunteering
FZY Year Course chanichim live and volunteer their time in towns and cities across Israel. They volunteer most mornings and have the opportunity to volunteer in a huge variety of different placements. From teaching in schools, working in an orphanage, volunteering with Magen David Adom or working on Masada, there is an option for everyone! Learn more
Location
FZY Year Course chanichim get the opportunity to get to live in a number of different places throughout Israel. Each place has its own unique character and style and by living in the place for three months, Year Course chanichim really get to see completely different aspects of Israeli Society. Learn more
Army Experience
To fully understand Israeli society, FZY believes that it is important that participants have a significant interaction with the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). At no point are FZY chanichim members of the IDF or liable for any service of any description, rather they are volunteering and experiencing the life of a soldier of their own age. Learn more
