The Raphael Recanati International School (RRIS) offers a wide variety of social and cultural activities to enrich student life on campus. All events are held in English, and most are open to students in the Hebrew tracks, to encourage integration between the Israeli and International students.

 

Campus Life at the RRIS ensures life outside the classroom is engaging and impactful for all RRIS Students. We help international students embrace Israeli culture through diverse trips, events, and programs that make settling into this vibrant country enjoyable. 

 

At Reichman University, there’s always a way to get involved, explore, and make a difference. Join (or run!) a club, watch (or star!) in performances, give back (or organize!) via community service  - and most importantly, make friends and memories that will last a lifetime.
