Live in Israel. Develop your Jewish Identity. Have the time of your life!

World Bnei Akiva is among the largest and most popular Israel Gap Year providers. For over 80 years, our transformative, experiential year programs known as Hachshara, meaning “preparation,” have changed the lives of thousands of young Jews worldwide.

All programs include Jewish learning and travel throughout Israel.

While immersing yourself in Israel with friends from around the globe, you’ll gain independence, spiritual development, and real-life skills. You will have the opportunity to make a real impact on Israeli society through volunteering activities and gain a unique understanding of Israeli life through an incredible array of experiences, such as a Kibbutz Experience, Magen David Adom, IDF experience, or professional internship.

Most importantly, your year in Israel will be a year of personal development and growth while you have an incredible time!
