GAP YEAR PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
ZEI is reimagining Israel education for yeshivot, seminaries, and gap year programs through a transformative partnership model hosted at the Nefesh B’Nefesh Aliyah Campus in Jerusalem. Rather than a single visit, programs commit to 8–10 sessions per year — moving students beyond introductory concepts into a year-long exploration of Israel, Zionism, and their role in the Jewish future.
Every session is custom-tailored to your program, featuring:
- Thought-provoking videos
- Movement-based debates
- Small-group dialogues
- Interactive games
- Experiential learning
Each session ends with a meaningful message and swag—leaving an impression that lasts beyond the year.

Every session is fully custom-tailored—no cookie-cutter lectures, no one-size-fits-all content. Sessions include:
- Content-rich Kahoot games
- Dialogue-based debates
- Immersive challenges
Each class ends with an inspirational video and message—reinforcing ZEI’s mission: building a generation deeply committed to Israel and the Jewish people.
