History
Learn about the origins and history of Project OTZMA.


OTZMA is a joint program of the Israel Forum and the North American Jewish Federations, represented by the United Jewish Communities, in cooperation with the Department for Jewish/Zionist Education of the Jewish Agency. Since its inception in 1986, over 1000 young adults representing Jewish communities across North America have participated in this unique opportunity to serve Israel and the Jewish people. Upon their return to North America, participants are expected to serve their Jewish community in a volunteer or professional capacity.

**OTZMA is a dynamic and continuously evolving program in which participants, professionals, and lay leaders review the content and results of various program components. Please note that, as a result of this ongoing evaluation, the sequence and content of the various tracks of OTZMA is subject to change.
