The Jewish Agency takes a multidimensional approach to integrating immigrants to Israel through its network of absorption centers, which serve as a critical first step. The centers help immigrants acclimate to their new lives in Israel by providing social support, Hebrew education, and guidance through the absorption process. Specifically, the Beit Canada Absorption Center in Jerusalem assists young immigrant professionals and academics by offering housing, Hebrew courses, cultural activities, and help navigating various absorption programs to help them realize their dreams of becoming part of the Jewish state.
