Nothing that I know of. There is however tremendous help for Eastern-European immigrants here, for example you can study and get a degree in your native language! Of course, once you want to work you're going to need, at the very least, a basic grasp of Hebrew, but by the time you finish your courses and get your degree, that should happen naturally.

Wow! That is amazing that you can take classes in your native language and earn your degree as well. Even with all the "pro-Spanish" we have here, I have not seen that yet. I know you can take the High School GED in Spanish in some states, but I don't know of colleges that offer classes and complete degrees all taught in Spanish yet.
