Here 4 The Year - a new web resource for students in Israel

Every year, thousands of students come to Israel to spend a year studying in various overseas programs. For most of these students, this is the first time they will be separated from their families for such an extended period of time. A new site has been launched aimed to help students in their new environment by providing useful information to both students and their parents related to their year in Israel. Called Here 4 The Year, (www.here4theyear. com) the website provides touring tips, a calendar of key events, nutritional information, and valuable tips on navigating the “system.” The website also provides information for the parents, including a column by a clinical psychologist.

Before their departure, students try to prepare by speaking to friends and searching for information on the Internet. Once in Israel, students talk to friends and try to make use of the information provided by the schools. In many cases, however, students quickly discover that there is a huge gap between the information they have in hand and the information they need to navigate Israel on a day-to-day basis. That’s where Here 4 The Year can help.
