A record total of 5,421 American adults and youths—including 4,556 high school and college students—will be sent to Israel by the Jewish Agency to participate in the agency’s work-study programs. Of the total, 4,546 will remain for the summer and 875 for periods of six months to a year. The project is being coordinated by the Jewish Agency’s Department of Education Culture and Torah Education Culture.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
