The best year of my single life

I participated in Otzma in the late 90s, but I know that the program has kept its integrity.

I had a wonderful experience. You are exposed to every corner of the country, education programs, people from all walks of life - and it is extremely fulfilling to volunteer.

From Kibbutz life working in an eyeglass lens factory, to scaling cliffs in the Golan on a hike - the experiences are diverse and exciting.

Every day into the program, you feel more comfortable with the country, until you call it a second home.

I would not hesitate to do it again - though this time it would have to be with wife and kids :-)
