4 1. INTRODUCTION As many as 400 different Israel educational programs are in operation today. They include educational tours, year-long university and yeshiva programs, hi gh school semesters and work programs on kibbutzim .

The Jewi sh Agency's Jewish Education Committee began its work with the assumption that Israel programs have a substantial impact on their partici­ pants. They therefore commissioned the 'Israel Experience' study project, to answer two basic questions:

1. Is there potential for significantly increasing the numbers of Diaspora Jews taking part in educational programs i n Israel?

2. Can the impact of Israel programs be increased -- and if so, how?

After completing the study, col lecting, analyzing and evaluating the data, it is our feeling that both these questions can be answered in the affirmative:

YES, there is potential for a substantial increase in the numbers of people who come to israel on educational programs . We found that although participation is, in fact , greater than previously assumed , there is much potential for growth. We believe we have identified new target populations. We know who they are -- and, more than that, they have told us what they want.

And YES, as we shal l indicate, the impact of Israel programs can be significantly increased. We found that while the Israel educational exper­ ience is generally perceived as successful, there is room for improvement.

5 We have found it useful to summarize our findings for this report in the following categories:

* The Method: How we Worked

* Is there potential for increasing participation in educational programs in Israel?

* Who are the potential participants?

* Who participates today -- and in which programs?

* What programs or frameworks would attract potential participants?

* What are majo r obstacles to participation?

* Can existing programs meet potential demand?

* Can the educational impact of programs be increased?

In two final sections, we deal with:

* Policy issues

* Conclusions

6 2. THE METHOD: HOW WE WORKED

As we embarked on this study project we discovered that there was al most no resource materi al available about educational programs in Israel.

While those involved in organizi ng and implementing programs are often very knowledgeable about an area of education or their specific program, there was no systematic or comprehensive body of knowledge or information about Israel educational programs . There were, for all practical purposes, almost no evaluations of:

+ t he impact of programs on participants

+ the efficiency of programs

+ the marketing of programs

It was therefore important for our study to gather the necessary information and to analyze it in a way that would shed light on our two basic questions. We did this by: a) Creating a data-base of existing Israel programs -- their content, participants , fu nding, recruitment, and factors working for or against their growth . b) Studyi ng the populations who come on existing programs , to understand who they are, how they decide to join programs, and what (short-term) impact is made on them by the program c) Prepari ng a market study to discover who are the potential participants.

7 d) Surveying young people who come to Israel outside of educational program frameworks . e) Analyzing existing programs -- their resources , curricula , personnel and budgets .

We made a number of on-site visits during the sulllller of 1985, observed staff recruitment and training sessions , and assembled a library of publications, to serve as documentation for our work .

We conducted extensive interviews with lay leaders , educators and administrators, and consulted with numerous experts in the field .

What I am privileged to present to you today is an executive su111T1ary of our findings t o date. It i s based on a set of technical reports i ncl uding:

A report on the survey of programs

A report on participants in short-term programs (that on long-term programs is to come shortly)

A report of the market study in the U.S. and Canada

A report on accommodati ons

A report on personnel

A report on site-visits

A series of technical reports including budget analyses and funding data.

8 It i s for the Committee to decide how best to make available t he several volumes of materials that include> in addition to the results l isted above:

A computeri zed data base of programs for 1985

A monograph describing the various methodologies in the social sciences and education that were chosen to gather, analyze and inter­ pret the data.

Clearly, such an effort completed in so short a period had to involve talented and dedicated people.

Throughout, the project team has been encouraged and sus­ tained by the deep interest and commitment of the Chairman of the Israel Experience Sub-Committee ROBERT LOUP, its Co-Chairman Rabbi RICHARD HIRSCH, and by Jewish Education Committee Chai r­ man, MORTON MANDEL . Their belief in the power of accurate information and their vision of the scope and importance of this study assured us of the necessary time and tools.

The project's consultants -- Professor MICHAEL INBAR and Professor EFRAIM YA 1 AR for methodology, Dr . SHMUEL SHYE for the program survey, and Professor STEVE N M. COHEN who conducted the marketing and participant studies -- were the most gifted and dedicated of colleagues. Their contribution is inestimable.

9 HAIM ZOHAR, Secretary General of the WZO, has given us invaluable help in gathering vital information about people, institutions and methods of recruitment .

My own staff worked with total concentration and commit­ ment . Their dedication was central to this endeavor .

Dozens of program directors and educators helped make this study possible by their wil l ingness to share their data and their time . The openness and generosity of the WZ0 1 s Youth and Hechalutz Department, in this regard, merits special thanks .

Professor SEYMOUR FOX, Senior Consultant to the Jewish Education Committee, has at every stage insisted on the most rigorous of academic standards for this project. His creativity and insights have contributed some of its most significant ideas, and his expertise in all matters pertaining to Jewish education has been of invaluable assistance. It has been a true privilege working with him.

10 3. IS THERE POTENTIAL FOR INCREASING PARTICIPATION IN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN ISRAEL?

The answer appears to be yes. Many more people can be recruited to Israel education programs.

The major growth area -- and one of the major findings of the Israel Experience study -- is t hat large numbers of people who have never been to Israel want to come, and want to come on educational visits. Again and again, our market study data show that Israel is attractive to Diaspora Jews who have never visited the State, and who are not generally reached by Israel program recruitment.

The interest of this group, however, lies chiefly in types of program other than those currently offered.

Another , more limited growth area was also identified. This is in expanding the reach of existing programs.

11 4. WHO ARE THE POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS?

The North Ame rican Jewish population can be roughly divided into three equal segments as regards visits to Israel (see Fig . 1):

* Those who have visited Israel, or are maki ng arrangements to do so . (All those wh o take part in existing Israel programs are within this segment . )

* Those who have no interest at all.

* The intermediate group, who have never been t o Israel but are interested in doing so one day . They have either inquired about trips to Israel , believe they may vi si t in the future, or have at least given the matter some serious thought .

Ou r ma rket study in the United States and Canada clearly shows that as many as a third of a 11 North American Jews, \llho have never been to Israel, are interested in such a visit. The study reveals that large numbers of them could be attracted to edu cational programs in Israel .

As we studi ed these data, we decided to foc us mu ch of our analysis on this third group , which clearly appears to have the greatest potential . It could include hundreds of thousands of people, and therefore we decided to analyze this group in greater depth . We created four categori es :

+ 13- to 17-year-ol ds

+ 18- to 24-year-olds

+ single 25- to SO-year-olds

+ married 25 - to SO-year-olds

GROUP B -- THOSE INTERF.S TEn IN VTSJT1NG JSRAF.L ARE SUGAEST ED AS A MAJOR TARGET POPULATlnN We found that each of these categories differs markedly from North American Jews who have already visited Israel or have made the decision to visit, as well as from that segment who have no interest in Israel programs (see Fig. 2) .

They tend to lie midway between the Israel vi sitors and the totally disinterested, as regard various aspects of Jewish involvement. For example:

+ Close to 80 percent have had some form of part-time Jewish education . Very few have had Jewish day-school education .

+ Around 40 percent rate their ritual observance as 'moderate.'

+ Their rel igious affiliation is equally divided among Conserva­ or Reform Judaism, and being "just Jewish" (about 30 percent in each category) .

+ Most rank 'low' on Zionist commi tment.

+ Some 27 percent are unaffili ated with any ,Jewish communal organization; 41 percent are affiliated to one such organiza­ tion; and the remainder to more than one .

The picture we have drawn from the data i s of a population character­ ized by moderate links to Jewish religious and communal life at home, and with some interest in Israel . Because they have weak commitments ' to Zionism, we should, however, question whether conventional appeals to visit Israel are likely to be effective. New methods to address them should be considered and developed.

13 About half of this ' interested' group -- perhaps half a million people between the ages of 13 and 50 -- declared themselves willing to spend $1 , 000 or more on an Israel visit, in add ition to the cost of the flight, fo r the right ki nd of prog ram . Though we will be returning to the compl ex issue of cost later, it is clear that this subgroup within the 'interested' segme nt merits particular attention.

Existing Israel programs cater, by and large, to a very different Diaspora population.

14 5. WHO PARTICIPATES TODAY -- AND IN WHI CH PROGRAMS?

To our surprise, we found that many more people take part in a wider variety of program frameworks than was generally assumed .

We began the study in the belief that 12 ,000 to 15,000 people came to Israel on educational programs each year -- most of them high schoolers , primarily attending short-term programs.

We found this to be far from the case. Our survey of approximately 85 percent of existing programs shows that some 41 ,500 participants were involved in Israel programs in 1985 . More than half of them are older than 21, and about a third are on long-term programs.

In order to reach these findings, we assembled detailed information about 330 programs from their directors, using a systemati c, structured questionnaire, through interviews with trained staff. The data were com­ puterized and analyzed through various statistical procedures to produce a survey of the universe of Israel programs.

The hundreds of programs we examined can be grouped into three main categories (see Figure 3):

+ Informal -- tours and study tours

+ Formal -- professional seminars, high school, yeshiva and higher education programs

+ Work/Volunteer

While high schoolers are significantly represented (one in every four Israel program participants) , it appears that many programs are attracting ol-der people, as well .

16 (Slight differences in numbers in the Figures result from rounding off, and because some questionnaires were returned to us incomplete.)

Programs for teenagers are typically one to two months in duration. Those aimed at col lege-age parti cipants usually run over six months . Young adult programs (22 to 30 years) are general ly either less than a month long or more than six. Those for over-31s are usually less than a month .

Participants in programs belong most often to the more Jewishly active segment of the population. In our survey of participants in programs we found, for example, that:

+ 49 percent had visited Israel before

+ 24 percent have had Jewish day-school or yeshiva schooling

+ 79 percent belonged to a synagogue (or their parents belong)

This profile confirms findings from our market study, which reveals that the less Jewishly active often do not visit Israel or know about programs .

17 6. WHAT PROGRAMS OR FRAMEWORKS WOULD ATTRACT POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS? Among the unexpected findings of the study was that there are literal­ ly thousands of North Americans who want to tour Israel on programs whi ch offer Jewish and Israeli content. This is true for eve ry age group.

We asked ourselves whether these are people who are interested solely in ordinary tourism . When we analyzed our data more carefully , we l earned that a significant number were indeed receptive to learning more about Israel and Judaism during an Israel visit .

The majority of this group, however, is not attracted to existing programs . They are looking for possibilities other than those currently available -- among them, more individualized visits, and visits conducted within a different social framework .

Among the programs that our study indicates will attract this group (see Fig. 6) are: • Intensive basic tours of the country that exp lore Jewish connections with Israel.

+ Family trips preferred by both parents and children. We were surprised to discover that not only parents prefer such trips, but so do children of varying ages , as well. Very few such prog rams are available today .

+ Individual (non-group) visits, in wh i ch visitors can learn about Israel in appropriate settings . These are particularly popular among young adults, in the 18- to 24-year age bracket. They want to come alone or with friends, and take part in educa­ tional activities while they are in Israel .

BASIC TOURS, FAMILY VISITS AND INDIVIDUAL TRIPS ARE THE MOST POPULAR AMONG "INTERESTED" NORTH AMERICAN JEWS. Almost all existing Israel education programs cater exclusively to groups .

+ High-level educational or professional enhancement in Israel is sought by a sizeable group . Some are looking for short-term study programs and work shops or longer-term working experiences that are well thought out .

We looked, too , at what this target group would enjoy doing within these program frameworks (Fig. 7) .

+ The majority want to see historic, religi ous and archaeologi­ cal sites, though they also want significant time for leisure; they want to sunbathe.

+ A substantial number, however, want to study Israel i history, experience religious life in Israel, and meet Israelis and North Americans living in Israel. That is, people are interested in exploring Israel and Judaism, and learning about their connnections with their heritage.

AS WELL AS VACATION ACTIVITIES SUCH AS TOURING AND SUNBATHING, A LARGE PROPORTION ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT ISRAEL AND JUDAISM. INTERIM CONCLUSIONS

These interim conclusions summarize what we have presented to this point -- and particularly the foregoing section. We can note some development possi bil iti es:

If new types of program were to be developed and provided , catering to the interests suggested by the survey, \/e believe that very significant increases in the numbers of those taking part in Israel programs could be achieved .

If, further, the quality of programs is simultaneously upgraded, and the obstacles to participation removed, increased participation could reach very large numbers.

Because the numbers of people in this 'interested ' category are so large, we believe the Committee may want to consider further investigation of this population through a number of pilot programs . The pilot programs would serve as a more complete and valid test of the conclusions, and could serve as a basis for a larger-scale framework, to be more fully developed at a later stage.

Th ree types of pilot program are suggested . a) INTENSIVE BASIC TOURS. The development of quality, short-term basic t0urs of Israel~ comb ining sightseeing, Israel studies (Israeli society, history, Jewish living, and so on) and leisure.

20 b) INDIVIDUAL TRIPS. Reaching toward young people who want to visit Israel independently, offering them the possibility of well-planned short­ term programs Qr modules with Israeli and Jewish content. c) FAMILY TRIPS . Creating special programs for families , built around study of Israel and Judaism, with sufficient time for touring and leisure.

For each of these three categories, data is available concerning: the sizes of groups they could potentially attract the program content sought by each group how much potential participants would be prepared to pay toward the program the socio-economic characteristics of the different groups their Jewish affiliation.

21 7. WHAT ARE MAJOR OBSTACLES TO PARTICIPATION?

We asked ourselves: What factors inhibit or discourage people from coming to Israel on educational programs? We identified a number of possible obstacles toward visiting Israel. Among these: the cost of programs, fear of terrorism {which is prominent this year) , lack of knowledge about programs, negative attitudes of family members to visiting Israel , and the quality of programs provided.

We have singled out three major obstacles , for discussion here:

a) Lack of knowledge about programs b) Cost of programs c) Quality of programs a) Lack of knowledge about programs We found general agreement that more agressive marketing of Israel programs is required. Some 65 percent of all program directors bel ieve that more aggressive advertising would almost certainly result i n increased regi strati on in their programs. Indeed, with 39 percent of programs oper­ ating below current capacity, and over 83 percent claiming that they could expand to accommodate double the number of participants, it is not su r­ prising to find directors concentrating on advertising and recruiting .

Yet marketing of Israel programs is largely ineffective . Large sums of money are spent on various advertising media but they are not reaching enough of the target population of interested people . On a per partici pant basis , many programs spend hundreds of dollars.

22 The problem may lie l ess in the amount spent, and more in the way in whi ch it is al located. Despite the hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in aqve rtisi ng and recruiting, only 28 percent of the 'interested' group i n our ma rket study said they "knew of any programs for visitors to Israel other than the regul ar tours packages ."

Close to 60 percent of all respondents said they would be more likely t o visit Israel if they knew of a program that was right for them. The age breakdown is as follows:

' Interested' Percent 13- to 17-year-olds 59% 18- to 24-year-olds 54% 25- to 50-year-olds (singles) 54% 25- to 50-year-olds (married) 58%

Our study shows that the more serious the interest of a potential participant , the harder it becomes to find a suitable program . As high a proportion as 73 percent of those who have decided to visit Israel report that t hey woul d be more likely to visit if they knew of the right frame­ work. Current recruitment campaigns apparently do not address t his market need in a satisfactory way.

Fig . 9 shows 10 existing recruitment approaches . We analyzed the effectiveness of each , and -- agai n -- our find i ngs su rprised us . Organi­ zational channels, for example, are used by slightly more than half of existing Israel programs, and bri ng in 70 percent of al l participants.

23 The use of organizational channel s and word-of-mouth as the most effective recruitment methods suggests that marketing of Israel programs is primarily geared t o those active and involved in Jewish community life.

Of our 'interested' target po·pulation, however, only 13 percent had ever received information about Israel programs through organizations. The 'organizational' channel, therefore, appears to be effective only within certain markets, those with strong Jewish affi li ations.

Our study unequivocably shows that marketing can be expanded to other population groups . Word-of-mouth is heavily relied on, and suggests that social networks is one route that can be effectively used -- as long as these networks are not limited to the most Jewishly active sectors .

24 ------Fig. 2_ Current Recruitment Methods: Extent of Their Use channel % of % of all * % of % of % of programs participants * participants participants participants * in linforma 1 in formal in work/ * programs programs volunteer * programs Word of * mouth 70 73 * 43 40 17 * Organizational * channels 56 70 * 66 30 3 * Brochures 48 54 * 49 46 6 * Shlichim 42 54 * 56 21 23 * Direct mail 28 40 * 58 23 20 * Media ads 19 32 * 59 22 19 * Speakers 19 24 * 27 44 29 * Special * promotional * events 13 17 * 49 7 41 * Synagogue 14 14 * 91 7 2 * Community * center 13 13 * 91 6 3 * ------Word-of-mouth and organizational channels are very effecti ve within a limited market. To expand existing markets and reach new ones, however, a professional advisory board could make an important contribution to review­ ing present marketing methods, and suggesting way s to improve them.

b} Cost of programs A second major obstacle to participation in Israel programs is their cost. This issue needs much further in-depth study: on the one hand, our findings indicate significant willingness among the ' interested' population to pay for programs; on the other, cost is shown to be a deterrent factor .

25 Most existing programs cost well over $1,000 per participant, in addition to the cost of travel to Israel . A full three quarters of our 'interested' -target group indicated they would be more likely to plan an

Israel visit if it were less expensive.

We found a strong correlation between the level of household income and frequency of Israel travel for all age groups -- and particularly for the 13- to 17-year-olds. Teenagers from households with annual incomes of $50 ,000 and higher are almost three times more likely to visit Israel than those from less affluent homes. According to program directors, 64 percent of participants in 1985 Israel programs were "economically well off."

We also tried to understand how vari ous people would respond to reduced program costs. Our findings reveal that the impact of cost increases with the level of interest. For example, 70 percent of those who already have decided to visit report that they would be more likely to go with a $500 cost reduction. Only 38 percent of those classified as 'interested' say the same thing. However, the causal effect of cost remains ambiguous in our study.

Despite an apparent need for subsidizing Israel programs , we found that communal agencies do not always succeed in distributing scholarship funds earmarked for the purpose. This failure to match available funds to· potential participants is partly attributable to ineffective marketing . Some 78 percent of the ' interested' people tell us that they would not know where to turn for financial support. This may also be due to the fact that less affluent people do not even consider Israel travel.

26 c) Quality of Programs The level of the quality of programs is a third obstacle to participa­ tion. We were pleased to discover that , in general, participants were satisfied with the Israel programs they attended . When we probed deeper, however, we found that there is room for substantially increasing program quality -- especially since poor-quality programs not only affect their participants, but also future recruitment.

Israel clearly speaks very powerfully and favorably to the young visitor, even through poorer-quality programs. All our data, however -- collected from program directors, participants and our 'interested' popula­ tion -- show that participants who have been dissatisfied with their Israel program are unwilling to recommend it to friends.

With word-of-mouth as such an effective recruitment tool, it follows that poor-qual ity programs make a strong negative impact on recruitment.

The issue of program quality is dealt with more fully in section 9. It is worth stating here, however, that the fact that most participants are happy with their 'Israel Experience,' in programs of all qual ity across the board, may be attributed to Israel itself, and often in spite of the pr ogram.

27 8. CAN EXISTING PROGRAMS MEET POTENTIAL DEMAND?

On the whole, our study shows that demand for programs of existing kinds can be increased, and that the programs can accommodate growth .

Again, our data yielded unexpected findings. Despite difficulties in recruiting, it is very clear that some existing types of program are likely to attract increased participation (Fig . 10). They include:

+ short-term travel and study programs

+ kibbutz programs

+ universi ty programs

Our findings demonstrated an interesting paradox . We identifi ed a sizeable potential demand for these kinds of program -- far larger than the numbers who take part. Yet these same programs, even while claiming a growth potential of 50 percent, are often under-subscribed.

To illustrate: Short-term travel and study programs accommodate approximately 19,000 participants. The potential market, however, according to our market study, includes tens of thousands of 13- to 17- year-olds, and potentially over a hundred thousand 18- to 24-year-olds.

The potential market size of kibbutz programs could be doubled . In university programs, we estimate a potential market of close to 20 ,000 or approximately three times greater than at present .

Our findings strongly suggest that, between them, improved program performance, program content and redirected recruiting may have the potential to double participation in these categories of program.

Figure 10 shows that many young people could potentially be attracted to indivi dua l travel , rather than to existing group programs . Fi gure 6 provides further illustration of the same point. We thus conclude that whereas there is a potential fo r increasing participation in existing types of program, the greatest untapped potential participation requires the development of new and different types of program.

DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES Universities . University programs do not fare too well in word-of- mouth recomme ndations. Our long-term program study is still incomplete, but our initial findings show there to be a significant drop-out rate, and varying level s of satisfaction among students . Major problem areas are qua lity, level and type of academic study. A further recurrent complaint is isolation from mainstream campus life.

Our data indicate significant potential demand for university programs , despite existing difficulties in recruitment to such programs.

Ki bbutzim . Ki bbutzim have long been a significant resource in shaping Israel's image and positively representing many values of modern Is rael. Over time, however, the quali ty of kibbutz programs appears to eroded , l eaving both participants and kibbbutz members increasingly dissat­ isfied. Conceivably , many kibbutz programs have not sufficiently evolved with t ime or changed with the market . Such changes may rebuild a significant role for kibbutzim in Israel programs.

. 29 9. CAN THE EDUCATIONAL IMPACT OF PROGRAMS BE INCREASED?

We found clear evidence that the impact of many existing programs ca n be signficantly increased .

As we surveyed the existing programs through the participants ' survey , the directors ' survey, site visits and interviews -- we found t hat the successful programs had sha red features . We could therefore begin to chart a prelimina ry profile of a ' good' program -- and, naturally, its corollary, a 'bad ' progam. We discovered there to be startli ng gaps in quality between good and less-good Israel programs.

We dubbed a program unsuccessful or 'bad' when a large number of i ts participants were:

+ bored or dissatisfied wi th it

+ mi ssed the point of the program's lectures, tours or other activities

+ uninspired by their 'Israel Experience' and unlikely to increase Jewish or Israel-related activities at home as a result of their visit

+ unlikely to recommend their program or a visit to Israel to others

We corroborated the declared satisfacti on of program participants and impact of programs in interviews with educators and program administrators .

30 The less-good programs are often plagued by logistical problems. which run from tour buses which do not arrive, to uninformed counselors, and unsuitabl e o~ absent guides. More basic, however, 1 good 1 programs are differentiated from bad by characteristics which include:

* a clear concept of educational goals

* planning consonant with those goals

* a knowledgeable staff, understanding of the Diaspora and the needs of Diaspora participants

* a staff involved with and committed to the educational goals of the program -- and able to implement the activities that reflect them

* proper selection and training of staff

* clear definition of staff role and function

* efficient implementation of the program and its schedules

That is, in the more successful programs, all activities are specifi­ cally addressed to their participants, and integrated toward identified goals.

These are not only sound and recognized educational principles: their va l idity was repeatedly demonstrated in our study, in the degree to which the participants in 1 good 1 programs are involved and satisfied.

31 Index of Satisfacti on To test satisfaction with programs, we developed a multi-dimensional ' index of satisfaction' describing the Israel visit, composed of 17 elements - - Sites I Visited, Counselors , Educational Activities, and Costs were four of them.

Satisfacti on , we discovered , bore scant relationship to whether respondents were Jewishly involved, committed Zionists, or planning aliyah.

We therefore took their wi11ingness to recommend a program as an important key to measuring satisfaction.

According to this Consumer Satisfaction Index, while two thirds of participants enjoyed their Israel Experience -- only 38 percent were both satisfied and would recommend their program. Their complaints encompassed the quality of staff, organization, accommodations , food and more.

The Satisfaction Index also served to underline the great gap between 'good' and ' bad ' programs . Quality of staff is one example: on the less­ successful programs, less than half (49 percent) of participants declared themselves satisfied with their counselors; on the better programs, the satisfaction rate was 74 percent.

More telling still is the rate of recommendation: 19 percent of those . on ' bad ' programs were both happy with their experience and wil l ing to recommend it, as against more than 50 percent on the ' good' programs.

32 DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES As we saw a picture developing, we focused on a numbe r of areas such as personnel, organi zation, and accountability between providers of servi ces and organizations abroad. We believe that improvement in these areas wi l l do much t o increase t he impact of some of the programs.

These additional findings, whi ch are documented in our technical reports, are worth noting, because they have special bearing on development possibilities. a) Personnel The quality of counselors is, according to all sources , the singl e most important factor in determining program quality.

There is, however, a shortage of suitable personnel. Many are students or recent IDF graduates , often with little more than a few days' training and unfamiliar with the background and beliefs of their group, or with the goals or plans of the programs they l ead .

We believe that upgrading staff can have signficant impact on a large number of Israel programs . Among our pilot project suggestions are:

+ an experimental staff t raining prog ram for Israeli counselors i n short-term programs

+ further study of interaction between Israeli coun selors and accompanying personnel from the Di aspora

+ further study of the impact of enormous salary differentials between educational staff in various programs (a differential that i s, in some cases , 100 percent)

33 b) Rational ization of Short-Term Tours Short-term tours provi de an important service for which there is an existing -- and even greater potential -- demand . According to our data, however , the best is not being provided, and the potential impact is not always being made. Word-of-mouth is discouraging future participation despite the great efforts of an overworked and dedicated staff.

Over half of those considering Israel travel report their primary source of information to be friends who have been to Israel before. The data al so show that what their friends tell them depends on the quality of program in which they participated. As indicated earlier, participants on

1 good 1 programs are far more likely to recommend their programs than those in 1 bad 1 programs . Perhaps even more important, however , is the fact that pa rticipants on 1 bad 1 programs are also far less l i kely to recommend Israel travel at all.

An improvement in short-term programs would, we believe , result in time in increases in both participation and impact . A reevaluation, rationalization and reorganization of some of the structures providing these services is strongly recommended. If a reorganization i s considered too drastic, we suggest extending and encouraging existing short-term programs that do meet cri teria of quality. Promotion of competition between different frameworks running summer programs may produce desirable results. c) ~ Professional Advisory Board We believe a professional advisory board could help all those i nvol ved in organi zing and run ni ng programs to:

34 + develop norms for educational quality in various types of program

+ assist in planning and developing effective programs

+ help monitor and evaluate programs

In these ways, an overall qualitative improvement in existing programs could be achieved, as well as standards set for future programs. Such a contribution from Education and Social Sciences experts would be likely to increase participation and maximize program impact . d) Accountability We identified a communications gap between those who organize programs in the Diaspora and those who provide them in Israel. For this reason, consumer expectations sometimes go unmet, and credibility is damaged .

A number of Diaspora organizations have closed the credibility gap by setting up their own infrastructure and running programs independently. Others have established their own facilities in Israel to represent their interests and mediate with local program organizers. e) Cultural Differences Our research concerns programs catered to participants from throughout the Diaspora . Our initial concentration was on North America because of the scope of the project and the numbers involved, but at this early stage we also checked our conclusions through a smaller-scale project in France.

We found the cultural differences between Jews from different countries to be significant in program satisfaction. A common criticism, in fact, among non-American participants, was that programs are not addressed to them.

35 Educatorst too, ranked specificity of program as an important cri ­ terion of success.

As an example, one might suggest accommodating cultural differences in programs by establishing local centers for participants from given cou ntries . One might, for instance, establish a 'Maison de France,' that would serve as a liaison for French -Israel Experience organizers and visitors, would provide information for group organizers, be a focus fo r informal activities geared to French visitors, and function as a visitors' center.

Such a center might provide a needed bridge to the communications and credibility gaps in programs. If successful , it could be replicated for other countries .

36 10 . POLICY ISSUES

This report sunmarizes conclusions based on a mass of data , describing the Israel Experience -- a large and long-time field that has never before been evaluated in-depth. Some of our findings overturn long-held assumptions , with the data clearly indicating that there are directions for development .

A number of major decisions lie ahead . They will form the basis of the project' s implementation, and guide its progress. Only when policy is formulated can a constructive plan of action be developed.

Among the policy issues to be decided are:

I . Are there population groups in which the Committee wishes to concentrate its resources?

If so, should precedence be given to specific age groups? To people from certain geographic areas? To the Jewishly active, or to the large group identi fied as 'interested'? To present and future leaders?

Each choice carries far-reaching planning ramifications. If, for example , high schoolers are selected as a focus, scholarship funding will be an important component, as wi l l organized tour programs.

If the major target is to be the 18- to 24-year-olds, two major development options open:

* developing individual trips -- perhaps through activity centers and activity packages, as well as cheaper acconrnodation possibilities

* developing career and professional program options

37 II. What is the desired impact of this project?

Priorities in the choices of specific programs and target groups will be dictated by the desired impact of this project. Examples of impacts include:

* Exposing large numbers of young Jews to Israel, irrespective of the educational intensity of the experience.

* Bringing young Diaspora Jews to Israel for maximum social contact to counter intermarriage.

* Making the strongest possible educational impact on relatively few, since strong educational impact requires greater resources used more intensively.

III . What type of endeavor does the Education Committee want to undertake?

* Promotion of organized educational group programs only?

* Development of educational modules for individual visitors? (Creating, for example, a Bible Teaching Center; educational packages; short-term programs open to individuals; developing entirely new programs , such as family camps.)

38 IV. How are resources to be apportioned among different development areas?

* Increasing participation in existing programs?

* Improving the impact of existing programs?

* Selectively increasing participation in the best of existing programs?

* Creating new frameworks for new kinds of program?

The decisions of the Jewish Education Committee will guide planners in developing a suitable mix of recom­ mendations.

39 11. CONCLUSIONS

The survey . ana lysis and evaluation of educational programs in Israel for Diaspora Jews has produced a number of answers -- and a greater number of possibilities and questions.

As this summary report shows, it has answered the major questions posed, suggesting that:

1. Existing Israel programs can be greatly expanded .

2. There is room to develop new programs catering to new interests .

Further, it has revealed that:

3. There are large potential populations of participants -- in North America , fully one third of the Jewish population -- who have not yet been reached.

Some of the ways of increasing numbers of participants in Israel education programs~ and of i mp roving the impa ct of programs, that merit the Committee's attention are:

* Developing new types of program for new target populations:

designing short-term programs for families , with Jewish educational content

-- creating programs for participants aged 18 and older, traveling al one, incl uding accommodation sites. ongoi ng cultural activities, and educational modules such as short-term trips or courses

40 subsidizing selected programs and/or population groups to test impact of subsidies on participation

-- developing high-level short-term university programs, with rigorous admission requirements, to introduce Israel's finest academic resources to talented participants.

reviewing the place of kibbutzim in Israel programs We believe that the kibbutzim have the potential to play a renewed and perhaps different role in Israel programs . They contain the neces­ sary human and physical resources to do so -- as well as continuing to attract the interest of potential participants.

-- establishing 'home' centers in Israel for participants from different countries.

Crucial to all approaches to improving Israel programs is offering of programs with educational content of the highest quality. Personnel is central to achieving this. We suggest, as one example of upgrading personnel:

* Developing experimental staff-training programs for counselors to short-term programs . Training of this kind will also benefit existing programs .

To guide the entire enterprise, we suggest:

* The creation of a professional advisory board for programs, to establish program norms, and assist in planning, monitoring and evaluation of programs.

41 * Setti ng up of a professional advisory group to help redirect marketing focuses, and expand marketing outreach to the popula­ tions identified as 'interested. '

We are happy to report that those who will undertake implementation of these fi ndings wi l l have at their di sposal a large body of information , to help them make informed choices. The information , as noted earlier, includes:

1. A data-base of the content, participants, funding , recruitment and obstacles to existing Israel programs.

2. Profiles of a cross-section of the populations who come on Israel programs .

3. A market study, profil i ng potential Israel program participants.

4. Profi l es of a number of Israel visitors who do not join educa­ tional programs.

5. An analysis of the resources, curricula, personnel and budgets of existing Israel programs.

6. Reports on accommodations, pe rsonnel, stie-visits, budget analyses and funding of existi ng Israel programs .

7. A computerized data-base of 1985 Israel education programs .

Decisions on future action concerning Israel programs may build on this documentation.

3 THE I SRAEL EXPERIENCE PROJECT

RESOURCE BOOKLET

In the course of the Israel Experience Project, a study o f Educational Pro~rams in Israel for visitors from the Diaspora commissioned by the Jewish Education Committee of the Jewish Agency , Nativ Consultants has collected in-depth information on 330 programs with about a1,ooo participants as well as on potential participants in North America. Multiple sources were drawn on to compile our knowledge base including hundreds of interviews with professionals in the field, expert panels , on­ site visits to program~ . surveys of program directors and participants, a North American market study, and a comprehensive literature and promotional materials search.

The present booklet includes a description of the data compiled , a list of all programs included in the data-base by ty~e and by sponsor, a list of directors and coordinators who have responded to the program's questionnaire, a list of programs included in o u r sample participants' study and a list of inte~viewees. The data collected forms the basis that informs decision-makers on how to expand participation and imDrove Dro~rams.

The success of the Project was due to the hundreds of dedicated program directors, coordinators, staff, educators, administrators and lay leaders who generously shared their knowledge and experience with us. We would l~ke to make the wealth of information we have collected available to them in the hope that the data will aid them in program p1anning and management.

Annette Hochstein Project Director I . PROGRAM DATABASE

330 programs are inc1uded in the database which was compiled from interviews with program directors, usin g a systematically structured questionnaire. Dr. Shmue1 Shye was Senior Consu1tant for the database, which includes approximately 85% of all educational programs in Israel for visitors from the Diaspora.

We have defined an educational pro~ram as one which employs Israeli resources the land, its society, special knowledge and skills -- to offer participants from the Diaspora a learning experience. The database is divided into 3 categories:

1) Informal Programs: summer tours; study tours without for mal components; and informal leadership programs.

2) Formal Programs: formal high school programs ; colleges ; yeshivot : ulpan and professional training programs.

3) Work Programs: programs providing employment or volu nteer opportunities.

B. Individual Visitors

Survey of UDO youn~ peopie who visited Israel without organized program. Respondents filled in brief questionnaires at Lod Airport o n their way out of the country. The data includes background characteristics and evaluation or their Israel experience.

8 III. MARKET STUDY

Jewish trave1 to Israe1: A study of Incentives and Inhibitions Among U.S. and Canadian Teenagers and Youn~ Adults. Survey of 1736 American and Canadian Jews conducted in March and Apri1 1986 by Professor Steven M. Cohen of Queens Co11ege, CUNY.

The data co11ected provides a picture of the composition of the potential North American market for Israe1 programs, what programs t h ey want, and what obstac1es prevent their comin~.

The information co11ected inc1udes:

Prior trave1 to Israel and other foreign countries. Intention to trave1 to Israel and other forei~n countries in the near future. Sources of advice and information for travellin~ to Israe1. Actions a1ready taken towards trave1 to Israe1 in the near future .

9 IV. RESOURCE ANALYSES

1. Staff: A re~ruitment, training and performance evaluation

2. Accommodations: An analysis of present accommodations and lodging alternatives.

3. Finances: The cost and funding structures of Israel educational pro~rams.

rhese reports were researched and written by Nativ staff members with educational and professional backgrounds in those particular areas. Their findings were based on extensive interviews with Israel program directors and personnel, participation in program planning activities (e.g •• a staff training seminar or a price negotiation with a restaurant), and examination of in-house program documents -- to the extent permitted -- such as budgets, contracts with hotels or youth hostels, and staff training materials.

v. PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

Nativ has collected program d escriptions submitted by the program directors. The descriptions illustrate how the programs themselves view their uniQueness in the world of Israel programs and what dimensions of their programs they consider outstanding.

VI. PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS

Nativ has collected an extensive library of promotional brochures and pamphlets. The information includes sample itineraries, application forms, and descriptions of program goals and content .

VII. fil.'.rn. VISITS

In the summer of 1985 a number of programs were vis ited by Nativ staff who observed the program dynamics in action.
