The 9-month Aardvark Israel Gap Year program is divided into two semesters.  Maslul (track) Aleph begins in Jerusalem, while Maslul (track) Bet begins in Tel Aviv.  Mid-year, the groups switch so that all participants spend approximately half of their year in each city.  In addition to local programming, students participate in excursions and hikes all over the country throughout the year.  Placement into a maslul is determined in part by the student’s special interest programming choices.
