To whom it may concern,

Thank you for taking the time to complete this form. This will allow the New South Wales Board of Jewish Education (NSW BJE) to assess the candidacy of each prospective participant wishing to partake on the 4-week Nesiah Israel Program.

NSW BJE takes great pride and pleasure in offering Nesiah, which delivers to our participants a unique, educational, cultural and once-in-a-lifetime experience. We consider our participants' participation in Nesiah as a privilege

The aims of the program are:

To strengthen participants' links with the language, land and people of Israel;
To familiarise participants with Israeli history, geography, society and culture so as to enhance their studies;
To strengthen participants' Jewish consciousness, commitment and values;
To explore the richness of Jewish culture and history so as to plan for continued Jewish prosperity; and
For participants to learn more about themselves and others, so as to grow and mature.

We prioritise safety for all of our participants and would appreciate your candid response to the questions below.
