The Immigration and Absorption Department is committed towards maintaining Israel as a prominent focus of Jews everywhere and of stimulating interest in Israel as a viable living option. The return of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is an integral part of what Israel stands for and the department plays an active part in every aspect of that dynamic process.

The San Diego IBIM Student Village, founded by the Jewish Agency for Israel and supported by international partners, is a leader in youth absorption.
Serving as the first home for student-aged immigrants from around the world, the Village is not only a place to sleep and study, it is a place of promise and progress—where residents take their initial steps as Israeli citizens and build their future in Israel. Today, nearly 18 years since it opened its doors, the IBIM Student Village is at the forefront of young adult Aliyah.  More

 Israel at sixty remains, with all its complexities, contrasts and contradictions, a success story of almost implausible dimensions. Born into poverty and war, upon its inception the young State could barely feed itself. Sixty years later, Israel can gaze with gratification and pride upon its phenomenal accomplishments. Yet, pride by no means translates into complacency. Israel is not all we would wish her to be; of course, no place is. Israel is a work in progress of the Jewish people. In these pages, we try to present a slice of Israel — spirited and sober, Jewish and worldly, introverted and extroverted, impassioned and fun. We invite you to come and visit: explore her cities, climb her mountains, swim in her waters, get a feel for her people, discover her spirituality, sing her songs and taste of her bounty. More
