"... the most notable part of my experience has been, without a doubt, the sense of family here. Throughout the entire country and within Israel Lacrosse specifically, from top to bottom, we care about each other. From the jump, I was met with open arms. Shabbat dinners, Hebrew lessons, lending anything I might need..." Read More

"Israel Lacrosse is more than just another cause. It is an opportunity to dream big and do good, a platform that brings communities together connected by the same ideals: passion for lacrosse and love for Israel. Being involved with Israel Lacrosse provided us with a sense of purpose and helped Ryan gain critical skills and life lessons. We are forever grateful..." Read More

"Winning gold as a member of Team USA at the 2018 World Games in Netanya was one of the greatest experiences of my life. While competing and winning a championship was the top priority of the trip, I was amazed by the country of Israel. Our tour of Jerusalem was great for team bonding, and also incredibly educational and enriching on a personal level." Read More

"Competing for Team Israel is one of the highest honors for me. It has given me the opportunity to represent something bigger than myself and wear the blue and white with pride. Israel Lacrosse has not only allowed me to connect with my Judaism and the state of Israel but also create friendships that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Being a part of the Israel Lacrosse family has given me the opportunity to compete at the highest level and share my love of lacrosse and Judaism with the world."

"While hesitant at first, my decision to take a leave of absence from college lacrosse and join the Israel Lacrosse Gap Year Program was one of the best of my life. My time in Israel was as rewarding an experience that one can hope for. Between high-level lacrosse, becoming fully immersed in Israeli culture, and meeting dozens of new friends…my initial hesitance to go to Israel feels comical today. It is an experience I will never forget."

"I had the best days of my life with Team Israel. It is an enormous honor to play for this country and the people of Israel. I will forever be connected to our shared culture and peoplehood. I wish it could have lasted forever."

"My son played on the U13 Israel World Series Team this past summer. Heading into a new school environment with significantly fewer Jewish kids, his experience with Israel Lacrosse has helped him greatly through this transition. Since he was feeling really connected to Judaism and Israel after competing with Team Israel, he went into this new environment much more proud and comfortable with his Judaism than he would have otherwise. A very positive outcome and we could not be more thankful!"

"Training with Israel lacrosse as part of their gap year program was one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only did I get to spend every day playing a game I love in an incredible country, but the dedicated coaching I received gave me the opportunity to walk on to my college team in the Fall. On top of this, the trips we went on, along with the amazing people I met made the whole experience unforgettable. I know I will reminisce about those months for many years to come."

"Being an athlete is much more than just the sport and much more than what people think. This game and the people I met changed my life and helped me through the darkest times of my life…. Thank you." Read More

"I found my peace, my power, my motivation, my passion, myself… No, it’s not just a sport! that’s my family, that’s a place that feels like home..." Read More
