Selah
You’re an adult. That means that your relationship with Judaism, your future as a member of the Jewish people, and the legacy you want to pass on is now defined by you and only you.
If you want to use your time in Israel to discover what being Jewish means on a personal level…
If you’re looking to become more committed to your Jewish self…
If you want to do all of this at your own pace and in your own way…
Then come join us for a Jewish gap year experience on Selah.
It’s Your Judaism, Come Live It.

Selah FAQ
Many students use Shabbat as a time to visit friends and family around the country. Some also find it a great time to relax in the apartments. There is always a counselor on duty each weekend and students sometimes organize themselves to join together to eat meals. The Selah staff are also on hand to point out local Shuls and Shabbat events.
