36 Yeshivas in Israel to Deepen Your Jewish Studies
Whether you’re a recent yeshiva high school graduate, a Jewish studies major (or minor) looking for a semester abroad, or simply interested in expanding your knowledge of Jewish studies and the Hebrew language, a yeshiva in Israel is the place for you to explore it all.
At Masa, we’ve been providing programs for Jewish studies interests since our creation in 2004, and they’ve been some of our strongest programs, with good reason. Our Jewish studies programs range from rigorous interdisciplinary studies of the modern Jewish people, ancient Jewish history and archaeological studies, Torah instruction and study, and Hebrew language studies.
Our yeshivas in Israel offer so much more than studies – you get to experience the land where it all happened. We take our Masa Fellows on trips across the country (biblical and otherwise), offer opportunities for volunteering in many areas of tikkun olam, and organize Masa-wide events through which they get to meet a global network of friends.
