I somehow cant find any other source than the idf online about this (ig google is so leftist so it refuses to show anything else)

Hey there, I’m from the UK and I’m thinking about volunteering with MADA. Has anyone here done the overseas programme before?
I feel like it’s a great way to help everyone in the regardless of their ethnicity or religion, and that is importantly to me.
Also I know this might be a dangerous time to do it, but I feel like these days it’s always dangerous since there’s been a lot of war going on. I’m more worried about what my peers will say about me going over than the war/danger in Israel.

Has anyone got any advice or wants to tell me how their experience was? Did you actually get to help people or was it just an “experience” for foreigners who want to feel like they’re helping?

Thanks in advance

I am planning to do the exam in April or June, any good schools to recommend? I know there is this one school called Yeda Plus which seems fine and teaches in English, I am thinking of studying in Technion or Tel Aviv university, Studying Engineering, looking at my grades I need around 657 score (after talking to some Universities).

if anyone could tell me about Yeda Plus or about other good courses and school or anything else, that would be useful!

Hi,
I am looking for a typewriter which writes Hebrew. Since they are not common in Germany, where I live I was thinking about looking at local Israeli online marketplaces. And maybe find one for a reasonable price which ships to Germany. Are there such marketplaces you could recommend?

Israel: start-up nation and soup kitchen nation,
by Gilles Darmon, Stéphane Bou, & Elie Petit, K: Jews, Europe, the XXIˢᵗ century, 2026-10-01.

As Israel’s October 27, 2026, legislative elections approach, security, war, and identity divides dominate the public debate. The humanitarian NGO Latet aims to encourage candidates to address another major issue: poverty, which affects more than 20% of the population and, according to its founder Gilles Darmon, threatens the very cohesion of the country. Founded in 1996, this organization, which fights poverty and food insecurity, mobilizes tens of thousands of volunteers. Gilles Darmon looks back for K. on 30 years of commitment and argues that social justice must once again take center stage in Israel’s political decisions.

An investigative report published in Romania (on the websites Snoop and HotNews) reveals that Yonatan Urich, a close aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and strategic consultant Israel ("Srulik") Einhorn, secretly assisted in drafting political messaging and formulating strategy for the nationalist AUR party in Romania.

This report has sparked significant controversy, given that senior figures within the party have previously been accused of antisemitism and Holocaust denial.

Key findings from the investigation:

• The WhatsApp Leak: The investigation is based on thousands of WhatsApp messages leaked from Urich’s account. The correspondence indicates that in August 2024, Einhorn sent Urich a document outlining campaign themes for the Romanian party, which Urich subsequently approved.

• Campaign Content: The two developed a communications plan that included proposals for social media posts, images, and video scripts. The messaging targeted leaders of Romania’s governing coalition as well as the Mayor of Bucharest, Nicușor Dan. Some of this phrasing later appeared officially on the social media accounts of politicians belonging to the party.

• Meetings in Bucharest: The messages indicate that Einhorn planned to meet with the party leader, George Simion, in Romania; he later wrote a message to Urich that the meeting had indeed taken place.

The party’s problematic background:

The AUR party (Alliance for the Union of Romanians) is a far-right, nationalist party. In 2022, the party faced harsh condemnation from the Israeli Embassy and the Elie Wiesel Institute after its members claimed that the Holocaust was a minor issue that did not warrant dedicated teaching hours in Romanian schools. Furthermore, the party has previously been accused of disseminating propaganda associated with the fascist Legionary movement that was active in Romania.

Responses: The AUR party denied the existence of any formal cooperation, though it has confirmed that it had received a work proposal from the two individuals. Urich and Einhorn refused to provide a response to the investigation’s findings.
