The "Arizona in Israel" Study Abroad program offered by The Arizona Center for Judaic Studies is a 'hands-on' introduction to a dynamic modern society deeply rooted in an ancient culture, situated in one of the world's most important historical crossroads. Courses have a robust field trip/field work component with a key focus on engaging the world and what that means from various Israeli perspectives. The program is built around introducing students not only to historical sites, but also to modern Israeli communities and institutions, civil society, and the manner in which Israel relies on its founding principles to reach out to others around the world. This latter aspect shall be incorporated in our NEW Zambian component whereby students will apply the principles learned from their courses and time in Israel to conduct actual hands-on field work in a community in Zambia (with work ranging from agriculture and engineering, to social science studies related to gender and representation, to business analysis and management modelling - all on behalf of a particular village.  In 2023, the Zambia portion of the program is fully funded for the first 7 successful applicants. Scholarships are available for the Israel portion as well).

Open to UofA and non-UofA Students!
