Corey Berman, Melbourne
Aardvark (5 month) gap year program

'Residing in the vibrant heart of Tel Aviv for five months alongside like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds seamlessly yet crucially propelled me into a realm beyond academia, imparting invaluable lessons in independent living, forging new connections, gaining work experience, and nurturing a global perspective.

All in all, my Aardvark Israel experience was truly transformative, leaving an indelible mark on my life and forever igniting a passion for adventure, personal growth and forged connections that will last a lifetime.'

Last night, Masa Israel Journey hosted the worlds largest Yom Hazikaron ceremony at Latrun, Israel. In attendance was over 7000 Masa fellows and alumni, Israeli government officials, US Congress officials, representatives from the Jewish Agency for Israel, and thousands of leaders from the Jewish Federations of the world and Keren Hayesod.

This year’s theme, ‘Forever Connected’, focused on the deep and enduring bond that connects the Jewish people in Israel and worldwide.

We invite you, here in Australia to watch, remember and commemorate the fallen soldiers and victims of terror in Israel and in Jewish communities outside of Israel.

May the memories of those who have fallen be a blessing.

Zionist Federation of Australia CEO Ginette Searle has been recognised on מסע - Masa Israel Journey's 2022 list of 12 inspiring Jewish Women Who are Making a Difference. The list was released in honour of International Women’s Day and recognizes a select group of leaders that inspire with their commitment to innovative leadership and for their word in advancing a brighter, more connected Jewish future.

Masa recognized the 12 women as having set high standards for future Jewish leaders who aspire to become agents of change. Across continents, industries, and issues, these 12 incredible women have made strides in their fields will bring communities together amid turbulent times.

Ofer Gutman, CEO of Masa wrote to Searle stating that her role “as a Jewish leader has created meaningful impact within the communities you serve, and in turn, has inspired and strengthened global Jewry.”

He continued, “We recognize your role and influence as CEO of the Zionist Federation of Australia, your longstanding commitment to the Jewish People and Israel, especially to young Jewish adults and Zionist youth movements is commendable. Your commitment to building bridges to closing the gap between Israel and Australia will impact generations for years to come.”

In her time as CEO, she has taken the organization to new heights through the expansion of several operational areas within the movement. Ginette’s service is rooted in the belief that young Jewish adults should and must experience Israel to help inform and frame their identities, and she believes that Masa is the vehicle for creating this profound change in greater connection and community involvement. To this end, the ZFA launched the incredibly successful pilot Israel Go, under Ginette’s leadership, which has already seen close to 200 young adults head to Israel in 2022 on Gap Year programs with the assistance of the grants.

Ginette is well-known for her selfless, compassionate work that sets a positive example for her local and global community.

Ginette Searle said, “I'm honoured to have been included in this global list - and thank Masa for celebrating the contribution of women in Jewish community leadership".

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett Meets with Masa Israel Journey Fellows from Ukraine who arrived in Israel in recent months.

The fellows told Prime Minister Bennett their personal stories about their families in Ukraine and their current difficulties and concerns.

Masa CEO, Ofer Gutman, explains what Masa has been doing for Ukrainians during the recent conflict.

"In recent months there has been an increase in demand among young Ukrainians for Masa Israel Journey programs. Masa is making considerable efforts in cooperation with the Government of Israel and the Jewish Agency, in Israel and in Ukraine, in order to allow all those who want and can to come on Masa programs. We have hundreds of Fellows in various programs who are affected by the situation. We are embracing them at this difficult time and giving them as much assistance and support as possible."
