Activities & Events

At the Office of Student Life (OSL), we design extracurricular programs to introduce you to the land of Israel on a personal level – its people, food, geography, culture, and politics.

The many exciting events, tours, and activities will complement your academic program and allow you to see Israel from new angles. We have decades of experience providing international students with a fun, meaningful, and memorable Israel experience. We’re happy to be traveling with you on your journey of discovery.

Tours

All tours leave from the campus and include transportation, a tour guide certified by the Ministry of Tourism, a security guard, and a adrich (student life staff and guide) from the Rothberg International School. See our list of current activities.
