Year Course isn’t a year off between high school and college – it’s a year ON! By spending half your year in Jerusalem and half in Tel Aviv, expand your mind, your horizons, and your life experience as you discover another culture, volunteer, study, and develop your Jewish identity before heading off to college. Young Judaea Year Course, the original gap year in Israel, gives you the opportunity to step out into the world, gain valuable life experience and skills, and begin the transition to independence.
Israel is your classroom – come and explore. You’ll earn up to 30 college credits while learning Hebrew, participating in life changing volunteer activities, and living with peers from the United States, Israel, and around the world. Do all this while building lifelong friendships and having the time of your life!
