Masa is the Hebrew word for journey, and Masa Israel Journey’s mission is to empower a new generation of connected, committed, and inspired young Jewish adults, between the ages of 16-40.

 

Masa assists in shaping a promising future for the young Jewish individual and the global Jewish community. The Fellows participate in a 2-10 month program, where they are encouraged and supported to strive towards their personal and/or professional destination. Fellows can choose from a variety of Masa products, which are: Masa Career, Masa Gap, Masa Israel Teaching Fellows, MasaTech, Masa Academic Fellows, Masa Jewish Studies, and Masa Aliyah Prep.

Join our international, multi-cultural community of thriving young professionals; our unique Career Development programs; Leadership-building training and access to Israel’s ecosystem.

We’ll subsidize and ease your stay in Israel – your housing, insurance, visa, placement and more.

We are happy to design an authentic, productive experience in Israel – for you.

Why Israel?

  • 01
    <

    Explore your passions

    Whether you are interested in hi-tech innovation, community building, art, scientific research, renewable energy, music, language, or archaeology, Israel has an array of cutting-edge companies, socially conscious organizations, top-notch educational institutions, and warm communities that will welcome you during your program and help you build lifelong connections with both the people and the country of Israel.

    Travel the country

    Since Israel is a relatively small country, it's easy to travel from city to city during your free time. Use your weekends to experience the cultural scene in Tel Aviv, hike desert trails, or go back in time walking the ancient streets of Jerusalem. Many cities are only an hour’s bus ride from the center, so you’ll get to know the country like the locals do in no time.
  • 03
    <

    Connect with the community

    Israel is also home to people across the spectrum of religious and political beliefs, which makes it the perfect place to reflect on your own opinions and practices. Whatever your background, you will find avenues to build a deeper understanding of your traditions as well as to encounter perspectives different from your own.

Our Story

In 2004, an important collaboration with a long-lasting impact was born between the Jewish Agency, Keren HaYesod, The Jewish Federation of North America, and the Israeli Government to establish an organization that brings young Jewish individuals to connect them to Israel and their Jewish identity through long term experiences in Israel. We believe it is vital that every young Jewish person from around the world will establish a formative connection and experience a long journey in Israel – turning a vision into reality.

In 20 years more than 200,000 Masa Fellows from over 60 countries embarked on their Masa Journey in Israel.

Our Vision

Every young Jew from around the world will experience a long, formative journey in Israel.

Our Mission

The mission of Masa is for every young Jewish individual to establish a bond with Israel and their Jewish identity through long-term immersive experiences in Israel. We believe that by growing personally and professionally through Masa, this bond will flourish for a lifetime. 

Masa Fellows are a gateway between Israel and the rest of the world as they gain first-hand experience living like locals. Therefore, we hold it important to our mission that once the Masa Fellows program ends they will hold three objectives close to their hearts: striving to lead change in their local communities, maintaining a strong connection to Israel, and sharing their personal experiences with Israel.
