Your Voices

From The Families

“JLIC has provided a space where I can meet with other Anglos who share much of the same culture and experiences. I am able to more easily share more aspects of my personality with those who I believe can understand me. It provided me with a community when most Israeli college students don't really get that.”
“JLIC has helped me feel like I have a community even in a city as big as Jerusalem!”
"Studying at Hebrew University is an amazing chance to dive into a community full of diverse ideas, with the energy of Jerusalem always around you."
“I always meet friendly people every Shabbat at JLIC.”
