Volunteers needed in Israel to teach English to emigres

English teachers are needed for immigrants living in Israel.

Yad B'Yad ("Hand in Hand") plans to send volunteers to Israel to teach conversational English to Russian and Ethiopian immigrants in two summer sessions: June 29 to July 15, and July 13 to 29.

Training will be provided for participants ages 24 to 68, who do not need to speak Russian or Hebrew.

Teachers are needed in Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, Raanana/Kfar Saba, Haifa, Tiberias and Kiryat Shmona. They will teach three hours per day, five evenings per week.

Volunteers must pay airfare and secure their own accommodations. Miracle Travel and Tour of San Francisco offers discounts to Yad B' Yad volunteers.

A deposit of $235 is required to cover programs costs, a weekend excursion in Jerusalem and three mini-tours in Israel.

For information on teaching in Kiryat Shmona, call Melissa Stern at (415) 278-0646. For other locations, call Madelon van Lier at (415) 485-1355. For travel arrangements, call Yehudith El-Hasid at Miracle Travel, (800) 452-4685.
