The LEAP Gap Year Program is an experienced partner for students and families that offers customized support, guidance and an optional pre-travel discovery cohort for those looking to get the most out of post-high school Israel programming.

More than 200,000 international participants have taken part in gap year or mechina programs in Israel since 2004. We invite you to find out why this life choice has built up such enduring popularity.

TEEN Programs

At the OFJCC, you’ll find a variety of programs for middle and high school students, from a year-one fellowship preparing teens for adult life, to teen programing in Hebrew.
