Dear Charlene,
On behalf of OTZMA we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your acceptance to participate on OTZMA XXII. You have been chosen to represent your community on this distinctive program that will prove to be a challenging and infinitely rewarding adventure. By being selected as an OTZMA delegate from your local Jewish Federation, you will join OTZMAnikim from Jewish communities throughout North America. As a participant in the 22st year of OTZMA, you will join over 1,300 past participants, many of whom are now leaders in their Jewish and general communities.
OTZMA is unique in a variety of ways. OTZMA provides the forum for you to work and live alongside Israelis; discover the land and its rich history; help Israelis in need; and experience the country in a way that one would not as a tourist. OTZMA is also designed as a leadership identification program with a specific goal of service. Through the work and relationships you forge, you will strengthen the bond between Israeli and North American Jews.
In the coming weeks you will receive your first package of information about OTZMA to your permanent address. It will include the following:
1. The OTZMA Toolkit (a 38 page guide of information for the OTZMA 2007-2008 year)
2. Letter of Intent
3. OTZMA Code of Conduct, Procedures, and Standards
4. OTZMA Release and Waiver of Responsibility
5. Payment Information
In the meantime, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Tali Ruderman
North American Director, OTZMA
United Jewish Communities

Yay!!! Mazel Tov Char :-D
Hi Charlene, I'm an Otzma XXI alumnus from Detroit who came across your blog while trying to find the Otzma website for a friend. I just wanted to let you know that if you need advice about packing, what to expect, etc. feel free to email me. Robin in the office (one of Otzma XXI's favorite people) should have my contact information.
Mazal tov and get ready for an amazing year!
