For 60 years, we have worked together to make Israel a
living part of Jewish communities around the world because Am Echad is the heart of a secure Jewish future. A major focus of that work has been building and connecting young leaders. Over 12,000 young adults have passed through the doors of our Leadership Institute MACHON since the 1940s. Our creation of the Israeli Forum in the 1980s and launch with UJC of the Israel experience program Otzma has transformed the connection between Israel and the Diapora. We continue to innovate in ways to connect the Jewish world’s next generation through powerful, transformative experiences. Our goal remains unchanged: a strong, connected Jewish people with Israel at its heart. Learn more

As a partner in birthright israel and through our Israel Experience program, dynamic short-term experiences—a crucial first step. MASA then takes this journey to the next level.
