BINA GAP YEAR TLV

BINA's International Mechina (gap-year program) is a unique program for high-school graduates from all over the world in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. It combines "Limud" & "Maaseh" (Study and Action) in an inclusive, pluralistic atmosphere.

 

Participants in the International Mechina come from high-schools throughout North America and Europe for a semester of unique learning, social action and communal group life. The international group would be part of BINA's Secular Yeshiva, a vibrant community of over 150 young adult activists in Tel Aviv

 

Studies include an in-depth look into classical Jewish texts (Tanakh and Talmud) from a pluralistic perspective, Jewish thought and philosophy, social justice and economic theory, Zionism and Israel studies. Furthermore, the participants experience living in a group, shaping their holidays, Shabbat services and cultural activities throughout the year and managing a monthly budget.

 

The program includes intensive Hebrew language studies (Ulpan) upon arrival, as well as tours and field trips throughout the country in order to learn about Israeli society and history first hand.
