The Nativ College Leadership Program in Israel (נתיב) is a nine-month, post-high-school gap year program for mostly North American Jews. It operates under the auspices of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, and draws its participants mostly from USY and Ramah camps.

About Nativ

Nativ is based at the Shirley & Jacob Fuchsberg Center for Conservative Judaism, located in Jerusalem at 6 Agron Street. Nativers live at Beit Nativ, the adjoining youth hostel at 8 Agron Street, which is minutes away from Ben Yehuda Street and Emek Refaim.[1]

History

Nativ was founded in 1981; as of 2012-2013, it is in its 32nd year.[2]

Leadership

The current director of Nativ is Yossi Garr.[3]

Nativ tracks

Nativ splits into different tracks for each semester.

First semester (September–January)

Hebrew University

Nativers attend the Rothberg International School at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.[4]

Conservative Yeshiva

Nativers study at the Conservative Yeshiva.[5]

Ulpan/volunteering

Nativers intensively learn Hebrew through almost daily Ulpan classes, and volunteer as well.[6]

Second semester (February–June)

Youth Village

Based on K'far Chassidim.[7]

Kehilla (community service)

Based in Yeruham, where Nativers offer to serve in the Magen David Adom, comparable to the Red Cross, the other option is to volunteer helping teach English in the school.[8]

Gesher

Nativ Gesher is a new track, whereby Nativers will have the same first semester options as the Kibbutz and Kehillah Nativers, but during the second semester they will travel to and volunteer in Masorti communities in Europe, chiefly in Berlin and London.[9]
