My Masa Career Israel experience was exactly what I needed. Not only was I able to jumpstart my career as a software engineer by working with some of the brightest people at a Tel Aviv tech center, but I was also able to reconnect with my ancestral homeland while forming lifelong connections.

Year Course was the best year of my life. I was able to explore Israel, give back to the community, and learn about my opinions on Israel and Jewish matters. I met my friends for a lifetime, and the worst part of the year was being sent home early because of COVID19. Despite the hardships, it was a year I will cherish forever.

The Yeshiva of Orayta, located in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City, is an incredible growing and learning experience for any young man who desires to discover himself in Judaism and find his path through living a Torah-inspired life.

It was one of the greatest experiences of all time. I met so many great people in this program. Eventhough I am not working in hospitality any more, I worked in one of the greatest event management companies back in Istanbul, Turkey. I had chance to work there because of my internship at David Intercontinental Tel-Aviv! Thanks everyone for all of the support.

The other participants were amazing. The trips planned by career Israel consisted mostly of sitting in a bus for long periods of time only to watch movies at the destinations. Tours were poorly planned and they even took us to Pizza hut in ber Sheva rather than a cultural experience.
