Mach Hach has a deeply committed and experienced administrative staff running and overseeing the program. Our senior staff is “on the ground” in Israel and not running the program from overseas. They are in constant contact with the groups, visit them regularly throughout the summer and can be contacted by parents twenty-four hours a day.
Throughout the year and during the summer, we engage parents through a weekly newsletter, an active Facebook page and weekly videos produced by our staff. Through social media, we bring parents inside the Mach Hach experience!
