In the Social Action track study program, you'll take classes on Judaic texts and philosophy, and learn about the issues facing the communities of South Tel Aviv, and Israeli society as a whole. You'll also study the Judaic underpinnings of your volunteer work by exploring the tenets of tikkun olam and gemilut hasadim.

And starting in 2011, Tikkun Olam is opening it's doors to Israeli volunteers, greatly enhancing the overall experience of all our participants. Classes on Jewish Identity and Israeli Culture take on a whole new meaning when you have Israeli's to share their unique perspectives and thoughts. And what better way to practice your Hebrew than to live with native speakers!
 
Classes will take place at Bina's Secular Yeshiva, located in the heart of South Tel Aviv, and are taught by Bina's outstanding and renowned teaching staff, representing some of the biggest names in their respective fields.  Classes are conducted informally with an emphasis on work in small groups and open discussion.
 
The Secular Yeshiva, now in its sixth year of operation, functions as an educational and cultural center for Bina's groups of young Israelis, as well as Tikkun Olam. By encouraging open discussion and dialogue about the Jewish sources, the Secular Yeshiva gives secular Israelis the opportunity to explore their Jewish identity in a more relaxed and progressive setting than is found in most traditional yeshivas.
