ZEEV PROJECT
Our mission is to build and support a vibrant community of Olim Hadashim (new immigrants) aged 18 to 40, grounded in the values of Beitar.
Zeev Project
How do you find friends and like-minded people in a new country?
How do you connect with locals and truly feel at home?
And most importantly, how do you stop feeling like a stranger?
At Zeev Project, we organize large-scale educational festivals that offer practical answers to these questions for new olim (immigrants). We also share meaningful content on social media and nurture a vibrant volunteer community.
