TorahTech
Torah Tech Experience in Tel Aviv is an intensive and meaningful fusion of Torah study and professional business internships. Torah Tech offers English speaking students the world over a gap year in Israel program that includes a Rosh Yeshiva led Beit Midrash with a focus on business ethics, while also being immersed in the cutting edge business world with a full schedule of internships in Tel Aviv’s top Startup Nation companies. The program is built on the principle that many pre-college students are eager to begin building a serious professional resume, while still balancing Torah and lifestyle, before furthering their academic education. Tel Aviv as the heart of the Startup Nation is the ideal setting for this concept, being the leading tech epicenter of the world second only to Silicon Valley, and can provide students with the world-class benefits of a truly vibrant international city. The Beit Midrash program will include traditional vibrant Torah study led by our leading Rosh Yeshiva, with an extra focus on the ethics of business. Our warm and supportive staff is committed to the spiritual growth of our students, instilling Ahavat Torah and Yirat Shamayim in their hearts. Half the week our students will be spread around the city, interning in leading Israeli companies from a wide range of professional sectors, and gaining college credits. The Torah Tech Experience will also regularly host Israeli leaders from the worlds of business, nonprofit, and politics for engaging talks, and trips around Eretz HaKodesh. Tel Aviv will be the main campus keeping our students constantly active with options for gym, krav maga army training, biking, surfing, volleyball, basketball, baseball, and relaxing time spent on the beach. Torah Tech is an initiative of the Am Yisrael Foundation (www.AmYisrael.com), which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that launches, supports and funds initiatives that empower modern pioneering amongst Jewish young adults.
