Live in Israel, build your resume and tour the country with Onward Israel, a two-month professional internship program in Tel Aviv. 

The Wendy Miller Track of Birthright Israel Onward is named in loving memory of a lifelong educator and deeply engaged member of the Chicago Jewish community whose life reflected Jewish pride, moral clarity, and a profound belief in the power of education. Wendy devoted her career to teaching young children and spent many years as a docent at the Illinois Holocaust Museum, helping others understand the importance of remembrance and the responsibility to be an upstander. Known for her generosity, her commitment to family and community, and her joyful approach to Jewish life, Wendy believed deeply in the potential of young people. This program reflects her hope that participants will explore Israel with curiosity and openness, engage thoughtfully with the stories they encounter, and return home ready to share their experiences and stand up for what matters.
