Recognizing the increasingly vital role of such experiences in the Jewish education of Diaspora young adults, the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) established MASA Israel Journey. The aim of MASA is to encourage Diaspora young adults to spend a semester or year in Israel as part of an Israel experience program. MASA pursues this mission by providing “one stop shopping” for more than 130 study, volunteer, and career development programs, and by providing financial incentives in the form of grants and scholarships.
