What is OPI?
Overseas Programs in Israel, also known as OPI, is a web site created to serve the thousands of students who come to Israel after High School and spend usually one or two years in a Yeshiva or Seminary. As well, this website is a wonderful resource for any tourist or new citizen who has recently landed in Israel.
The creator of OPI understands that it is not easy for someone to spend time in a foreign country without any tools. This website will provide you with most of the information you will need to make your stay in Israel, as an English speaker, more comfortable and knowledgeable.
