Ahavat Israel

Israel Gap Year Guidance

A year in Israel, by design — not by accident.

Our Israel Guidance department supports students from research through application and arrival. Counseling, networking with Yeshivot and Seminaries, campus visits, and the school-sanctioned trips to Israel are all part of the journey. About 92% of the Class of 2023 spent their post-high-school year studying in Israel — a number that reflects how seriously we take this transition.
