Aardvark Israel was founded as a vehicle to maximize the number of young Jews coming to Israel for meaningful, life-changing experiences that strengthen their Jewish identity, commitment to Israel, and foster personal growth. The premier program of Aardvark is the Aardvark Israel Gap Year: a 9-month university program in Israel for students ages 17-20.   The Aardvark Israel Semester Program offers students ages 18-22 that can not spend a full year away from their home campus the same great program previously only available to gap year participants as a 5-month option.  Ideal for students from the Southern Hemisphere, the Aardvark Israel Semester Plus Program provides students ages 17-22 a 6 1/2 month option beginning in mid-January and running through July.

Fundamental to Aardvark Israel's establishment is the commitment to offer programs at affordable prices in order to make high-quality Israel experiences available and accessible to as many young adults as possible.

With a highly experienced team of premier educators and Israel programs staff, coupled with the most innovative and dynamic programs available for today's young adults, Aardvark Israel promises to deliver the best in Israel programs!

Aardvark Israel is operated in conjunction with MASA, which is a project of the Government of Israel and Jewish communities around the world, represented by the Jewish Agency for Israel and its partners, United Jewish Communities / the Federations of North America, and Keren Hayesod - UIA.
