UJA Federation of New York continues its supports of Youth Aliyah villages.

This year more than 700 Bedouin from the Negev have attended courses on desert ecology and solar energy at Nitzana.

The courses also nurture coexistence between Israel’s Jews and the Negev Bedouin.

UJA Federation of New York is also funding an empowerment program for youth-at-risk who are Caucasian immigrants at Hadassah Neurim.
