Masa Israel Journey

The Masa family bows its head in deep mourning for the heavy disaster that befell the residents of Majdal Shams, our Druze brothers and sisters, and Israel as a whole. Precisely at the time when the Olympics are taking place in Paris, boys and girls who just wanted to play football found themselves at the heart of a brutal massacre by an enemy that knows no borders. We send our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and pray that they may not know any sorrow.

A day in the life of our Masa Career Fellows at Drive TLV an innovation hub focused on smart mobility. We currently have 3 fellows interning at this fun, impactful, and innovative office and over the years had more than 20 fellows who worked and built the next step of their careers through this hub!

Royi Bercovici, Director of Gap, Jewish Studies, and Teen Journey shares his experiences from the past months, from his time as a reservist in the army and to his view on the challenges and the hope of a strong Jewish identity and community. "Today, as Masa’s fellows become alumni and step into independence, they will balance dreams with daunting uncertainties. We hope we have prepared them to carry forward a torch of hope, justice, identity, and commitment. Our commitment to this wonderful generation is to adapt to the challenges we face, guide them to learn from our mistakes and successes, and most importantly, leave them with a world where they can work as they will, undoubtedly, create a better world."

"Spread across approximately 100 schools from the northern town of Beit She'an to the southern city of Beer Sheva, and from the bustling streets of Jerusalem to the serene shores of Netanya, the fellows play a crucial role in enhancing English language skills among Israeli youth." We thrive to offer our fellows an immersive experience and to allow them to connect to Israel and their Jewish identity in an authentic way. During MITF, Fellows not only forge deep connections, but they are able to give back to Israeli society in the field of education. Now more than ever, the contribution of this impactful Masa program echoes for years even after the program ends.
