Rationale
Many Russian or Ukrainian Olim children struggle with Hebrew, even after two years. This holds them back both socially and academically. ESRA scholarship students help these schoolchildren during school hours, accelerating their learning of Hebrew and enabling them to integrate socially.
Objectives
