MASA's "Incubator" looking to promote new programs. Masa Israel programs are as diverse as Israel itself, and the list of varied opportunities grows each year. In order for programs to become Masa Israel-accredited programs, organizers must go through an approval process verifying that the proposed program meets Masa Israel's educational and administrative requirements.

The Masa Israel DNA All Masa Israel programs must include certain elements in order to be recognized, including (but not limited to): Some study of Jewish topics, such as Shabbat and Holidays Zionism and the history of the State of Israel Hebrew language instruction Exposure to Israeli culture and art Volunteering in communities within Israel Encounters with Israeli peers Geography of Israel through trips around the country How to Receive Masa Israel Accreditation: This process is simplified for clarity, may require additional steps not mentioned above, and is subject to change.
