SLE (Servas Language/Learning Experience)
SLE in Israel is a program of Long Stay hosting, from 2 weeks to 4 weeks, usually involving hosts for
weekdays, weekends and day-hosts. The program allows participants to experience daily lives with
families, practicing language, learning about the culture, communities, agriculture, water and more …
This is a “tailored” program, based on the participant’s interests and wishes, in accordance to the
possibilities Israeli hosts can offer.

We heard about SYLE during the Youth Meeting in UK in 2007
Thanks to Pablo Chufeni – Argentina
We started by learning from others, by experiencing SLE abroad:
Dvir – Panama Summer 2009
Reut – Guatemala – 2010
Then we started SLE in Israel, inviting all who wish to practice Hebrew and/or experience the
culture and people in Israel.
Please see some examples of past SLE program in Israel, starting from current to past.
