Nearly half of all long-term Masa alumni regularly donate to Jewish-related charities or causes outside of Israel.

Some 92% of long-term Israel program participants through Masa Israel Journey will raise their children Jewish, compared to 63% of those in short-term ones, according to a new survey.

The Jewish Agency and the State of Israel’s long-term Masa (Journey) programs recently released an in-depth report based on a study by the Impact: NPO research institute in New York, which surveyed 2,433 young Jews from North America between the ages of 20-45, among them Masa alumni. Two-thirds (67%) of Masa alumni regularly participate in Jewish community programs or events, nearly 30 percentage points more than short-term participants (40%) and those who haven’t been to Israel (38%).

In addition, nearly half (45%) of all long-term Masa alumni regularly donate to Jewish-related charities or causes outside of Israel versus 30% of short-term program participants and, ironically, 33% of those who never participated in any Israel program. A third (34%) of Masa alumni regularly donate to Israel-related charities or causes as opposed to 19% of those on short programs and 25% of those who never participated.
