Yavneh Olami was an international Religious Zionist student organization that worked to inspire and educate Jewish students from the Diaspora to strengthen their connection to Israel and the Jewish People. The organization, affiliated with World Mizrachi, ran educational programs that focused on pro-Israel advocacy, Israel connectivity, leadership development, and encouraging Jewish students to make Israel their home.
Yavneh Olami was headquartered in Jerusalem with offices in New York City and Toronto and an expanding volunteer network in the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. The organization often worked in partnership with Israeli governmental agencies and nonprofit organizations in Israel and abroad in order to meet the needs of religious Zionist students worldwide.
In 2006, it was reported that 15-20 computers were stolen which belonged to Yavneh Olami, a staffer was quoted as saying, "I fear that this will not become a very important story, as there has been a wave of such thefts in Jerusalem of late... Neither are the police likely to catch them, as it is assumed that the computers have already made their way to the 'territories' [ Judea and Samaria]." [1]
As of 2014, Enterprise Israel (formerly Yavneh Summer Internship Program) has been run by the World Mizrachi Movement. [2] Each year Yavneh Olami features around "80 aliya-minded college students from around the globe in its six-week-long Summer Internship Program". [3]
