Host Israeli Staff (Shlichim)

Open Your Home, Build Lasting Connections!

Start Up Nation and the Israeli Center are looking for caring families to host our shlichim (Israeli emissaries) from June 12th to August 17th. Hosting is more than just providing a place to stay—it’s about building deep, lasting connectionsand sharing a meaningful cultural exchange.

By welcoming a shaliach into your home, you’ll experience the vibrant energy of Israel firsthand, create lifelong bonds, and strengthen the ties between our community and Israel. This is a unique opportunity to make a difference in the life of a young, motivated individual while enriching your own family’s connection to Jewish life and traditions.

If you’re interested in learning more about this rewarding experience, please reach out to us!
