ILIsrael has launched a national program aimed at recruiting Jewish educators from North America to address a growing shortage of qualified teachers within the country. The initiative, called the National Educators Aliyah Program, is a collaboration between Nefesh B’Nefesh, the Education Ministry, and the Aliyah and Integration Ministry. It seeks to assist prospective immigrant teachers in obtaining professional recognition, completing licensing requirements, and securing employment prior to relocating to Israel. The program is set to begin during the 2026–2027 academic year, with the goal of placing the first group of immigrant teachers in Israeli schools by the 2027–2028 academic year. Teacher shortages are particularly pronounced in subjects such as English, mathematics, and science, as well as in certain regions of Israel. The initiative includes plans for educator aliyah fairs across North America to facilitate connections between potential candidates and Israeli education officials.
