Some communities are measured in likes — others in decades. ESRA has been the home of English speakers in Israel for over 45 years, becoming a true institution: a nonprofit with active branches across the country, from the Sharon to the south.

The activity spans all of life: social gatherings, cultural events, classes and interest groups, trips — alongside serious volunteering programs that support local communities. For veterans and newcomers alike, it's a wonderful way to feel at home in the language you're most comfortable in.

How to start? Visit the website, find the branch or activity nearest you, and show up. ESRA crowds are famously warm — within a meeting or two, you'll feel like part of the family.
