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.
