Preparation Process

North America

The Preparation Process marks the inception of your adventure. Two to three weekend-long seminars precede the commencement of your journey in Israel. Throughout these seminars, the Garin groups delve into knowledge about the IDF and Israel. Connect with your future Garin family, gather essential information about Aliyah, Israeli culture, and lay the groundwork for starting your journey in Israel. This stage is pivotal for establishing connections and ensuring thorough readiness for the remarkable journey awaiting you.
