Drawing inspiration from the surroundings of the world's most special city, Jerusalem, participants on the WUJS Jerusalem Arts program are able to combine studies in Judaism, Zionism and Hebrew language with their own personal art medium such as visual art, music, photography, writing and performing.
Fully integrated into the WUJS Jerusalem Learning program, participants will take classes within a pluralistic, open-minded environment. Our holistic educational approach incorporates time in the classroom, weekly field trips, overnight hikes, meetings with Israeli peers and artists, volunteer options and a variety of fun and enriching activities. Participants live and study in a warm yet dynamic environment and are supported by professional and experienced staff.
