Over 30 places to apply for internships in Israel for 2013.

In past years, this list has come out later in the school year, with some deadlines already missed. So this year, I wanted to get the list out early so that you could benefit as much as possible.

As you’ll see below, the trend this year is to not post application deadlines, and instead to let people apply until the program is full.

Just like in the past:

Each internship description below is more or less quoted from the source.

Except where noted, all the internships have fees of some sort, such as an application processing fee, and Masa Israel grants can sometimes make the fees easier to handle.
