No Matter When You Plan To Study Abroad
You Can Pledge Now!

Join Students From These Colleges Who Took the Pledge

The World is Silent.

There is unprecedented antisemitism on college campuses across North America. And the world is mostly silent.

So We Need To Speak Up!

Today, be a voice for Israel. Take the pledge: If I study abroad, I will choose Israel.

Libraries Are For Learning, Not Lynching!

There are scary threats targeting Jewish students on college campuses, and you may have been physically or emotionally threatened.

Join a Safe Space Where You’re Celebrated For Who You Are!

By pledging to spend a semester abroad in Israel, you are taking the first step toward a semester of love, support and unity, where you are celebrated and not intimidated.

Your Own University President Won’t Stand Up For You!

Your campus faculty won't stand against those that hate Jews, even though their job is to create a safe space for everyone to learn and study.

As a Student, Stand Up For Yourself!

Pledging to study abroad in Israel is a tangible expression of solidarity with Israel and the Jewish nation. It sends the message: we stand together against hate on campus.

Hello? Is Anyone Else Here Jewish, Too?

Being part of a small community of Jewish students when antisemitism is at its peak may feel marginalizing.

Yes! And We’re Here For You!

By joining this movement, you become part of a community which fosters understanding, resilience, and unity.

You Thought Your University Was Home

Prior to October 7th, your university was a place to call home where  you could grow and flourish.

Home Sweet Home

Your study abroad destination becomes your home for a semester. Israel is the only Jewish home, where you are celebrated and appreciated, plain and simple. Pledge to study abroad in Israel.

Junior at American University

"In my university, the atmosphere is incredibly tough, and, truth be told, Jewish students are living in fear. It's a challenging reality that we're facing, and the impact on our daily lives is undeniable."

  • Why should I take the Pledge?
    Taking the pledge shows your strong stance with Israel. Anyone can donate, host a vigil, or volunteer, but only students can pledge to study in Israel and make it their home. Join thousands of students who pledge that if they study abroad, they choose Israel as their #1 destination.
  • How long does it take to take the pledge?
    Taking the pledge takes ten seconds of your time, but shows a tremendous amount of support for Israel! Fill out your basic contact information and the university you attend or want to attend, and that’s it!
  • What if I’m not sure if I will study abroad?
    While taking the pledge shows your strong stance with Israel, it does not bind you in any way in case you don't end up studying abroad in Israel, or at all.
  • What if I’m nervous for other people to know that I’m taking the pledge and standing with Israel?
    Your information will not be shared with any third parties aside from the university you may wish to study with, and never without your knowledge or permission.
  • I’m nervous to come to Israel now.
    Pledge now, study abroad later. Israel is currently at war, so stand with Israel by pledging to make it your future home for a semester, whenever that may be.
  • I already came to Israel on Birthright/Onward or another program..
    Even if you've been to Israel before, spending a semester there is more important now than ever for uniting students from campuses around the world in support of Israel.
  • What if my university doesn't let me study abroad in Israel right now?
    Taking the pledge does not obligate you to study abroad in Israel right now, but if it does become relevant in the future, it shows that Israel is your #1 choice.
  • All my friends want to study abroad somewhere else.
    You can send the pledge to your friends too! The pledge is non-binding, but study abroad is a great opportunity to make new friends who will last a lifetime.
  • What if my major doesn’t allow me to study abroad?
    We want to help you come to Israel to study abroad. Often times, even if the university says it isn’t an option for your major, there is room for flexibility. For now, the pledge is non-binding.
  • How do I know that I’ll be able to take the right classes?
    We work with some of the top universities in Israel and will work hard to make sure you are taking the classes you need.
  • What if I can’t afford study abroad?
    The universities we work with offer both need-based and merit-based scholarships. Finances should not stop you from taking the pledge or study abroad. We are here to help you.

"Finding Home Away from Home:
Secure Your Place in Israel's Embrace!"
