As Rosh HaShana and the new academic year approach, we’re thrilled to spotlight the exciting sports opportunities awaiting our international students at the Hebrew University. The Rothberg International School has teamed up with Tazuz Sports, offering a dynamic community where teamwork, fun, and play come together. Tazuz Sports provides an amazing array of recreational leagues and courses that keep you active and engaged. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills or just have fun, there’s something for everyone.
Eitan Hirsch, Tazuz Sports Founder, explains, "Tazuz was established primarily for international students, providing a community away from home where they can enjoy their favorite sports in an organized, friendly, and welcoming environment. While our main focus is to facilitate their integration into the country, we also warmly welcome Israeli participants. This creates an opportunity for international students to meet locals, fostering deeper connections and a sense of belonging. Through our partnership with Rothberg International School, we offer a special deal for their students."
