House of Fun

Near the Central Bus Station in the northern part of Israel, in the city of Karmiel, there is a 7-story building surrounded by a high fence with surveillance cameras. About 100 teenagers who came to Israel without families from the countries of the former Soviet Union live in this building. They undergo a nine-month adaptation course, after which they must turn from “Russians” into “Israelis”. Excessively long stay in a closed atmosphere produces the opposite effect.
