Manhigut coincides with the traditional Year Course programme, offering Jerusalem studies, Negev Israeli Experience and Community Impact in Bat Yam. Each component features extended opportunities for volunteering, learning, and cultural enrichment related to leadership.
Manhigut is the track which is designed to develop and nurture the future leaders of FZY and the Jewish community. It is aimed at those participants who want to put a specific leadership emphasis on their year in Israel, to engage in hadracha opportunities both on Year Course and beyond and to be part of a group.
No prior knowledge or leadership experience is needed in order to be a participant in this programme - only the motivation and passion to be a leader and the willingness to immerse in all programming and activities.
