Nativ College Leadership Program in Israel

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.
