Ayalim
Ayalim (Hebrew: איילים) is an Israeli nonprofit organisation that encourages young people to settle in the Negev and Galilee regions founded in 2002.[1][2] As of 2025, it operated "22 student villages and alumni communities, engaging 1,300 young Israelis annually."[3] The organization is named in honor of Eyal and Yael Sorek, friends of the founders who were killed by Hamas[4][5] at Karmei Tzur in 2002.[6]
Funding
[edit]Ayalim has received funding from the Israeli government, Keren Hayesod, the Jewish Federations of North America, the Jewish National Fund, and private donors.[7] In 2015, half of its funding came from the Israeli government.[2]
