Scope and Content: Item consists of a recording of Aliyah Corner. David Bale discusses the one-year education and work program promoted by the World Union of Jewish Students, in Arad. He interviews Shaul Landa, the program's director, who highlights the importance of establishing a network of alumni in North America to promote and support the program. He also interviews four alumni about their experience and what they learned during their sojourn: Beth Shapiro, graduate of 1985, highlights the chance to live in Israel before deciding whether to make aliyah; Simon Goldstein, graduate of 1984, talks about experiencing the hardships of living in Israel and what it really is like to live there; Denise Herwitz, graduate of 1984, who worked in Ma'alot, highlights the opportunity to experience a different side of Israel; and Mark [Mikowitz], graduate of 1980, who notes the opportunity to be inserted in the Israeli job market. All four alumni talk about the possibility of making aliyah: two of them consider it, while the other two are already in the process.
