In the heart of South Jerusalem’s Baka neighborhood, JLIC Jerusalem is making the big city feel small—creating pockets of deep connection, intentional community, and rooted Jewish life for young Anglos navigating early adulthood in Israel.
Jerusalem is holy, historic, and full of life—but it can also be overwhelming, especially for those trying to build a home far from everything familiar. Learn more about JLIC Jerusalem.
In Tel Aviv’s fast-paced whirlwind of startups, rooftop bars, and endless possibilities, JLIC Tel Aviv has carved out something remarkable: a Jewish community that blends ancient wisdom and modern relevance.
Rabbi Joe Wolfson and Corinne Shmuel lead this powerhouse community that transforms how young Jewish professionals experience both Torah and Tel Aviv life. Since 2019, the Wolfsons have built a magnetic hub where Jewish learning doesn’t just happen in study halls—it spills into trendy cafes, co-working spaces, and beachside conversations that stretch late into the night.

Founded in 2017 as the very first JLIC chapter in Israel, JLIC Mizrachi Herzliya has blossomed into one of Israel’s largest and most vibrant communities for young professionals and young olim seeking a meaningful Jewish experience with strong social connection. Made up of people from all over the world, it’s a place where every newcomer—whether you’re a new oleh, a lone soldier, an undergraduate or graduate student, or a young professional fresh off your degree from abroad—you will find a warm welcome and a true home.

JLIC Mizrachi Givat Shmuel stands as one of Israel’s most vibrant young adult Jewish communities! This dynamic, fast-growing family of students, young professionals, and new olim transforms Torah learning, builds lifelong friendships, and creates the future of Israel together.
Since bursting onto the scene in 2019, JLIC Mizrachi Givat Shmuel has become THE destination for young adults seeking authentic Jewish life in Israel. The community’s story began even earlier, with passionate Anglo students who saw the potential and started building something extraordinary from the ground up. Today, it stands as one of Israel’s most established and thriving young adult communities! Learn more about JLIC Mizrachi Givat Shmuel.
Be’er Sheva isn’t just where we live. For many of us, it’s a calling. Inspired by Ben-Gurion’s dream to “lehafriach et haNegev”—to make the desert bloom—our community is built on the belief that the periphery matters. That meaningful Jewish life can thrive here. That by showing up, learning together, supporting each other, and building something vibrant, we’re helping write the next chapter of Am Yisrael. Learn more about JLIC Be’er Sheva.
