Introduction:


AACI, a voluntary, non-profit organization, was established in 1951 to help North American immigrants acclimate to Israeli society and to build strong ties between North American Jewish communities and Israel. AACI’s services are available to all English speakers. The organization is composed of numerous on-going projects providing support and services to English-speaking immigrants in Israel, including The Shira Pransky Project, which provides translation services to Kol-Zchut for healthcare-related content, in addition to other resources aimed at helping English-speakers navigate the Israeli healthcare system.
