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.
