Israel & Zionism

Building a connection to Israel and modern Zionism is a crucial part of the culture at the University of Florida

This includes:

  • A wide array of courses in all aspects of Israel studies, including the study of Israeli history, politics, strategy, and culture and a unique major in Modern Hebrew Language.
  • Active Israel engagement— including student groups and initiatives such as Students Supporting Israel, Gators for Israel, and a Jewish Agency Israel Fellow.
  • Numerous opportunities for Israel travel, study, and engagement—including Birthright Israel, Onward Israel, as well as myriad internships and volunteer programs.
