As we welcome and plan for the New Year, we are in the midst of arranging AACI Navigational Series workshops for Olim & Vatikim.
We plan to offer the traditional, popular workshops “Understanding the Kupot Cholim; How Does The Health System In Israel Work?” addressing questions frequently asked on hot-line. We are planning a session on “Long-Term Insurance” and in addition to one on “Banking: What Can I Expect?” AACI always wants to keep our members updated on "what's new", and in that vein we’re exploring offering possibilities of offering workshops on the topics of “Bilingualism: What Language(S) for Home/Gan?” and “Care-Givers: What’s it All About?”
Navigational Series workshops take place Mondays at 19:00. Stay tuned for scheduled topics and dates!
If there is a certain subject that you feel would be appropriate for a workshop and would like to know more about, please let Sheila Bauman, AACI Counselor know: sbauman@aaci.org.il

AACI'S $70,000 Small Business Loan Program AACI is pleased to be in partnership with the Koret Foundation’s Israel Economic Development Fund (KIEDF) and to have established a small business loan program for AACI members. Loans can be for up to 5 years and for up to NIS300,000. They can be used for either starting a new business or expanding an existing one.
The process begins with an applicant turning to an AACI counselor to review basic eligibility, and make the referral to KIEDF. KIEDF will provide business consulting services including review, advice, guidance, and the preparation of a business plan for the applicant. If it is decided to go forward with the loan, the applicant will be introduced to a bank used by KIEDF.
Assuming the bank approves the loan, AACI and KIEDF funds are used to provide bank guarantees and an interest rate subsidy for the loan. For further details, contact your AACI counselor.

Business Mentoring Project
 AACI is pleased to invite established professionals and business people to participate in a project of the Council of Olim Associations to mentor potential olim in their fields of business.Volunteer mentors will become networking resources for potential olim. Correspondence with olim about their field will enable them to make informed decisions about their future business opportunities and have a smoother Klitah process. Participants will attend special events and lectures with mentors from around the world.
A few hours of your time can make a big impact on someone’s decision to make aliyah and give him or her an invaluable insight into the Israeli marketplace.
The Council of Olim Associations is the coordinating body of 24 member organizations whose objectives include building synergy and maximizing the capability of all the associations.
Interested? Send an email to jarbel@aaci.org.il with the subject ‘Business Mentoring Project' and the project coordinator will be in touch with you.
