Office of Student Life
Welcome to RIS Student Life
The Office of Student Life (OSL) strives to immerse you in Israeli culture and society through trips, programs, and events during your time in Israel.
We also connect you with Israeli students who work for OSL as madrichim (social life staff). Your madrich can assist you with all Israel-related questions, ranging from “How do I plan a sea-to-sea hike?” to “Where is the best hummus?” to “Where do I go for medical care?”
Student Life Staff
No matter what you need, we are here for you! Meet your madrich, or get in touch with OSL leadership.
