Nativ Runs the Jerusalem Marathon

Nativ, USCJ's gap year program for Jewish high school graduates, is dedicated to creating and inspiring the Conservative Jewish leaders of tomorrow. Nativ, which means "path" in Hebrew, provides a unique opportunity to explore new directions on the journey to becoming a Jewish adult. From September to May, Nativ participants are immersed in the rich and diverse society of Israel, exploring the land and enjoying a vibrant Conservative Jewish lifestyle. Participants come from a wide range of backgrounds including USY, BBYO, NCSY, and The Ramah Camping Movement.

This year, participants of Nativ 41 want to give back. They decided to find a way to help Jewish teenagers afford the incredible gap year that they are experiencing. This coming March, Nativers will be participating in the Jerusalem Marathon and would like to use the race as an opportunity to raise money for the Nativ Scholarship Fund. The annual marathon is run through the city that Nativers call home for the first semester of the year and are so excited to take part in it. We hope you consider giving, any sized gift would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you!
