A transformative gap-year experience building community in the ancient Yatir Forest.

Volunteer Program

Gap Year Program

Every year, thousands of Jewish students travel to Israel to devote their gap-year to the Holy Land. Ohr Chabad will offer a unique opportunity. Young adults will be able to contribute to the country's growth in a very practical way, from the ground up. The program will include many educational aspects in urban planning, as well as possible college credits. At the same time, volunteers will be in a warm Jewish atmosphere, with daily classes on practical Torah wisdom.

This program will be available once our community is ready.

More details coming Soon!
