INTRODUCING EILAT, ISRAEL ON THE RED SEA

Located in the southern most point in Israel, the resort city of Eilat on the Red Sea is the largest tourist hotspot in Israel. There are over 140 hotels in Eilat; over 60 of them ranked as 5-star hotels (according to TripAdvisor). Resting between the Red Sea, with its rich sea life, coral, and historical desert landmarks, Eilat draws tourists from all over the world looking for fun-in-the-sun and luxury hospitality.

Eilat is a southern Israeli port and resort town on the Red Sea, near Jordan and Egypt. Its beaches are noted for their calm waters, like Dolphin Reef, where the aquatic mammals are often spotted.

Sea of Galilee & Tiberius:Visit to the Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus proclaimed his Sermon on the Mount. Continue to Tabgha and visit the traditional site of the Multiplication Miracle of Loaves and Fish, as well as the Church of the Primacy of St. Peter. We will then drive to Capernaum, the center of Jesus' Ministries. See the remains of the ancient Synagogue and the house of Peter. Visit Nazareth Village, which re-enacts village life

Jerusalem: Arrive at the Mount of Olives to marvel at the spectacular view of the Holy City. Continue to Mt. Zion, just outside the City Walls, to view the Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu. Enter the Old City of Jerusalem and walk via the rebuilt Jewish Quarter and the Roman Cardo to the Western Wall (or Wailing Wall). Walk a part of the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Visit to the City of David. Continue to the Bible Lands Museum, and then onto the Israel Museum to visit the Shrine of the Book, where the Dead Sea Scrolls are displayed and to see the model of Jerusalem during the Second Temple.


WHO’S IT FOR?

• The academic study and internship program is intended for students in the field of hospitality/tourism/culinary arts/lodging. The students must be enrolled as a student in a recognized academic institution in their home country or have just completed their studies. Ideally they should be able to show permission to attend the program from their academic institution.

• Hospitality students should be able to speak and study in English. This may be waived if coming with an English-speaking faculty member on a faculty-led program.

• For culinary students, if the group prefers studying in the same language, translation services during classes is offered.

• We can assist the student in obtaining the necessary Israeli student visa through the Israeli embassies.

• For the Culinary program, participants must have some experience and/or formal education in the field. We reserve the right to reject applicants we deem unsuitable.

What’s required from the participating student?

1 The student must meet the academic requirements from the lessons.2 The student will undergo 155 hours of professional internship a month (average 4 shifts of 9 hours a week). 3 The one-time application and registration fee.4 Full Tuition paid 40 days before program starts (this covers all items listed on page 20).5 The student must adhere to the hotel’s guidelines and procedures. 6 The student must adhere to the program's rules and regulations (no violence, no illegal substances, cannot work during program etc.)

Student Visa

Participants in these programs will be arriving to Israel on student visas only. This is the only visa that will allow them to stay the full duration of the program. It must be made very clear: a student visa in Israel forbids paid employment of any kind to work in Israel – It is not a work permit. If found working outside of the program, the participant will be expelled from the program and sent back to his/her home country.

25


FOR UNIVERSITIES WITH STUDY ABROAD OFFICES

As mentioned, academic institutions who wish to bring students for these programs may send students either as an organized group of around 25 students, or as individuals. For individuals, please ask the student to send their details directly to [email protected] along with a letter from the study abroad office.

For group of students coming together, the university may organize the enrollment and logistics through Lirom-Study in Israel.
