Service Year Shlichim (also known as Shin-shinim) is the "year of service program" that offers Israeli high school graduates an opportunity to delay mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces and serve Diaspora communities for up to 10 months. The program allows communities to meet young Israeli ambassadors who perform meaningful service prior to entering the army. In 2017, 113 Service Year Shlichim served in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and other countries. We expect that number to grow to 170 in the coming year.
