MILAH, an acronym for ���� ������� ������ (The Jerusalem Institute for Education), is a non-profit organization established in Jerusalem in 1994 by Jo and David Morrison who moved to Jerusalem in 1992 from the United States. MILAH is home for a diverse community of new and veteran olim, tourists and visitors, diplomats and others,� from all persuasions and backgrounds, who seek to learn more about and become part of Israeli society and culture.� These people can improve and develop their Hebrew skills, as well as participate in a variety of unique activities which expose them to different facets of the essence of Israeli society and culture.� All the activities are run in easy Hebrew.�

�The goals of MILAH include:

� �� Deepening an awareness and knowledge of different aspects of Israeli life to create better understanding and tolerance between diverse groups within Israeli society.�

����Providing the tools for opening channels of communication to create common partnerships between individuals of varying backgrounds in Israel.

� �� Developing models of coexistence to deepen the feeling of belonging in the process of acclimation to Israeli life.

The uniqueness of MILAH derives from a� staff of professional teachers with many years of experience and a management staff dedicated to making courses and activities available at hours that match the needs of our students.�

MILAH's Board of Directors and Managerial Staff comprise both olim and Israelis from many educational backgrounds and professional walks of life. This enables a multi-faceted approach to the issue of aliya and enables the design of activities that relate to both� olim and� Israelis.� MILAH's Board of Directors work on a voluntary basis.
