OLAMIT(WORLD OF SCHLICHUT) LTD.



                                                        Olamit
                                                     Founded in 1999

           The company manages Jewish education projects in the Diaspora with the aim of enhancing
           Jewish identity and strengthening the bond with Israel.

           The Hayil Project
           The aim of the project is to strengthen the connection between high school students around the
           world with Israel, enhance their Jewish identity and their knowledge of Hebrew.  In 2018, the project
           involved 40 schools and 7,000 students, located in the US, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Venezuela,
           Colombia, France, Spain, Greece, Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Austria and South Africa. The
           program runs educational projects on Israel in the schools, brings groups to Israel (in 2018, around
           800 pupils came on educational trips to Israel) and runs teacher-training both locally and in Israel.

           The Morasha Project
           This project is aimed at strengthening the Jewish identity of young Jews aged 17-30 and their
           connection with Israel. Participants attend locally four sessions on Judaism, Israel and Hebrew, and
           the local program is then followed by a two-week educational tour in Israel (in 2018, around 1850
           people came to Israel in this framework). The Morasha project operates in the US, Canada, Russia,
           most European countries and most South American countries.

               Moshe Ashirie (Chair), Riki August-Cohen, Sagit Mordechai Eisenberg, Yoel Embon, Hagit
