This is the first of a two-part series on the Go Beyond program, made possible thanks to a partnership between Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael – Jewish National Fund and Nefesh B’Nefesh. The Go Beyond program helps new immigrants fulfill their goal of making a new home in Israel’s beautiful periphery towns and cities located in the north and south of the country.
