Leya made Aliyah from India in mid-2022, joining The Jewish Agency’s Ulpan Etzion program in Haifa to help her learn Hebrew, make friends, and acclimate to her new home.

Since making Aliyah, Micaela from Costa Rica has made incredible friends and increased her Hebrew skills through The Jewish Agency’s Ulpan Etzion in Haifa and found Israel to be a place she feels she belongs.

Thanks to his time at Ulpan Etzion-Haifa, Maxim, an immigrant from Russia who made Aliyah in May 2022, is feeling “incredibly optimistic” about his future in Israel.
