What a year for Masa!

This is a small excerpt of what his Masa experience has been so far!

“After lots of paperwork, phone calls and COVID vaccinations, I finally landed in Israel and immediately made friends and connections that I knew would last forever.

My program started with a weeks long taglit which included touring all over Israel and participating in a range of really fun and interesting activities. We then moved on to the main part of my shnat, Mechina.

Mechina has been an unbelievable experience. The opportunities that the program provides is a once in a life time chance which I am so grateful for. We live fully independently as we make 3 meals a day and create our own day to day schedule.

I have participated in volunteering at farms, week long hikes in the ‏שטח, and interesting shiurim From very knowledgeable rabbis and teachers. Can’t wait to see what the last two months have in store!”
