  • YC Alumni Say:

    “There are a lot of gap-year programs all over the world. But, there’s something different about Israel, and there’s something different about when you’re Jewish and living in the homeland of the Jewish people for a year. You really can’t get that experience anywhere else in the world. … This is my test run for making aliyah.” – Ayal Pierce, Demarest, NY
