Arutz Sheva spoke with Yechiel and Gabriel, two graduates of the Naale program at the Yeshiva High School of Shaalvim.

Naale Elite Academy’s program is fully subsidized including a full scholarship for tuition, free airfare to Israel, room and board, health insurance, trips and more. And it's all about coming to Israel, connecting to the land and the people.

In general, Yechiel and Gabriel tell us about a family feeling first and foremost within the participants of Naale.

"In Israel, you feel at home," Gabriel says. Yechiel adds that he is still in contact with everyone from his Naale program.

Being on their own, at a home far a way from home contributes to the independence of the students as they learn to get along.

"I feel like I received a foothold in Israel. Because of Naale, I feel like I have what it take to manage here in Israel," Yechiel says.
