Located throughout Israel, Absorption Centers are temporary living quarters that provide a soft landing and supportive framework, tailored to an oleh's needs.

As the Jewish state, Israel welcomes thousands of Jews who immigrate to the country each year. Jewish immigration to Israel is called aliyah, and Jewish immigrants to Israel are called olim.

The centers' furnished rooms or apartments are available for rental at substantially lower rates than on the private market, providing new immigrants with a ready first destination and warm atmosphere as they become acquainted with Israeli society.

Ulpanim (intensive Hebrew classes) are available at most Absorption Centers and are staffed by highly professional teams who have long-term experience in assisting new olim families, students, and singles in their absorption process.

Residence in the Absorption Center is usually for a period of up to six months, though participants of specific student or other aliyah programs may stay for the duration of their program. 

The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati allocates 30 percent of dollars raised to support Jews overseas. Seventy-five percent of that allocation goes to benefit programs of the Jewish Agency for Israel, including Partnership2Gether (P2G), and the Israeli Emissaries Program.
