Yachad GAP Year in Israel

The Joint Council of Mechinot offers a life changing gap year program for high school graduates from Jewish communities around the world within the framework of MASA (an initiative of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Government of Israel, which offers half-year and full year programs for high school graduates students and young adults.)

Yachad Gap Year allows students the opportunity to have the complete immersion experience in Israel. This is possible by living, studying and volunteering in Israeli mechina programs with Israelis your age. The word Yachad means “together,” and as a participant, your Israel experience will be more up-close and personal than any other – because you’ll be doing it together with your Israeli peers.
