The Israel Bridge recently hosted its Atlanta community event, bringing together Israeli student-athletes, supporters, families, donors, and friends. What happened exceeded every expectation.

In this video, hear directly from Israeli student-athletes about what life is really like studying and competing in the United States and why community matters. From financial support and mentorship to networking opportunities and finding a family away from home, The Israel Bridge exists to ensure no Israeli athlete has to navigate the journey alone.

For many athletes, The Israel Bridge becomes more than an organization. It becomes a second family.

Whether you’re:

🏆 An Israeli student-athlete exploring opportunities in the U.S.
🇮🇱 A supporter of Israel and Jewish communities
🎓 A college coach, university leader, or mentor
❤️ A donor looking to make meaningful impact
🤝 Someone passionate about helping students thrive

Former professional volleyball player, Israeli national team athlete, and now Chief Revenue Officer at Hapoel Tel Aviv Basketball Club,  has built her career around the power of sports.

As a proud alumna of The Israel Bridge, she now serves as a Volunteer Board Member, supporting young Israeli athletes as they pursue opportunities in U.S. college athletics.

“There is something incredibly powerful about young Israeli athletes representing themselves and Israel abroad. I believe the U.S. college sports experience can shape not only their future, but who they become.”

“I started playing volleyball in first grade. My older sister played
volleyball, and because of her I always had the desire to play as well.

In middle school, I moved to the Academy for Sports Excellence at the
Wingate Institute, where I stayed for two years. Those were two very
meaningful years in my life. After that, I received an offer to play in the
premier league in Kfar Saba, and I understood that it would be the best
step for me.

At the same time as playing in the premier league, I also played in the
high school league, where we won the championship twice in a row. Last
year, I was also awarded MVP.”

Welcome to the The Israel Bridge 🇮🇱🇺🇸

The Israel Bridge was recently featured in the Atlanta Jewish Times, highlighting the powerful stories of Israeli athletes navigating life on U.S. campuses: competing, studying, and standing strong in the face of adversity.

From Olympic swimmers to first-year students, these athletes are representing something bigger than themselves every day.

We’re proud to support over 460 athletes across 220 universities… academically, emotionally, and socially.

This is what the Bridge is all about.
