Masa Gap Programs
A gap year in Israel with Masa Israel Journey offers university-bound high school graduates the opportunity to gain a global perspective and a taste of independent living – all while having an incredible Israel experience.
Study abroad for a semester or more in one of Israel’s elite university’s undergraduate or graduate programs, while earning university credits. There is no better or more effective way to immerse yourself in a culture or learn a language than spending a semester or year abroad.
Masa Israel Journey works to make it as easy as possible for Jewish young adults to come to Israel. We offer grants and/or scholarships to help make the experience more affordable. Masa grants and scholarships are a gift of the Government of Israel and The Jewish Agency for Israel, made possible through the generous contributions of the Jewish Federations of North America and Keren Hayesod-UIA.

“I made lifelong friends, learned from incredible teachers and role models, and defined my path in life.” – Avigail G., Montreal
