AACI Continuing Education
“Learning doesn’t stop when one gets older. One gets old when one stops learning”.
It was on that premise that AACI Continuing Education was initiated in 1986 and continues till today.
Participants in the 3-4 day Study Vacations range in age from the 50’s through the 90’s. Some have been living in Israel for several decades, some are more recent immigrants, and others new olim and/or tourists.
Continuing Education has run over one hundred Study Vacation programs over the years covering a wide range of topics, taking us to many different places throughout Israel – north, south, east, west and center. We have heard from expert lecturers and individuals who share personal experiences that are a part of the country’s history. We have visited new and unique sites that help increase our knowledge and broaden our understanding of the land and the different people who live here; Jews, Arabs, Bedouins, Druze, Circassians, veterans and newcomers. We have also visited ancient historic places, nature reserves, museums, universities, and met with people who have been instrumental in both the preservation and development of this land and its culture.
Information about these programs is published in all the regional bulletins as well as the Seniors Spectator and in the AACI Electronic Newsletter ( Click here to Subscribe to newsletter).
The study vacation program is open to all English-speakers, members of AACI, including tourists who are members.
