This year, as in previous years, the HIP experience had an incredibly powerful impact on the participants. I must admit that I find myself feeling even more passionate about HIP after hearing about my own son's experiences on the program this year.
During the program our students participated in an intensive Hebrew ulpan program. This course builds on their years of Hebrew studies, synthesizing their skills and taking them to levels of Hebrew competency in the 10th grade not seen before the creation of this program. Our students also developed lasting relationships with Israeli peers who live on the Midrashah where the students stayed. Many of our students commented that the new friends they made in Israel were a key to their forming an attachment to Israel. HIP participants were also spiritually uplifted by their visiting the sacred sites in the Holy Land.
