What’s the Goal of the Gap Year in Israel? Ari Waxman, Judah Mischel, and Gershon Turetsky [Israel & Diaspora Bonus]

This episode is sponsored by Eden Beit Shemesh. Contact Rina Weinberg at info@edenbeitshemesh.com for more details.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to a panel of rabbis about yeshiva, seminary, and the “year in Israel.” Additionally, we hear from Dov Rosenblatt, who more than two decades ago wrote the satirical song “Flippin’ Out.”

Gap-year programs have become one of the primary points of contact that American Jews have with Israel. But, paradoxically, the year in Israel is a quintessentially American experience. In this episode we discuss:

What are the signs of a healthy gap-year experience?
How can gap-year programs become more focused on Israel?
How has the year in Israel changed in a post–October 7 world?

Tune in to hear a conversation about how the gap year can meet the needs of this generation.

Interview with Dov Rosenblatt begins at 16:25.
Shaalvim Dinner panel with Ari Waxman, Judah Mischel, and Gershon Turetsky begins at 33:36.
