“There is no better way to connect with Israel than person to person. Hosting a ShinShin was a transformative and enriching experience for my family.” – Britney Ewing, past host

What is required of a Host Family?
ShinShinim Hosts can be families with children living at home, “empty-nester” couples, or even grandparents. Hosts must provide a private room in their home for the ShinShin to stay, food for daily meals, and a nurturing home environment for a 3-4 month time period. Each Shinshin is provided with an insured car, a cell phone, health insurance and a financial stipend through Federation and JAFI.
