Masa created this Gap Year Toolkit to help educators and Jewish teen professionals incorporate Israel gap year guidance into their organizational communities.  The Toolkit is meant to be an adaptable resource that can be used in numerous settings. Topics include the benefits of taking a gap year, the various types of programs, the application process, financing the year abroad, and a gap year’s connection to a student’s Jewish journey.

If you would like any support along the way or to share feedback on how the Toolkit is working in your school or organization, please feel free to contact Sheryl Korelitz, Director of Gap Year Recruitment for Masa North America: SherylK@masaisrael.org.
