About Israel Prepaid
Israel Prepaid is the first price-locked savings plan for Jewish families in the United States. Founded in 2024 by Uri Goldenberg and Eyal Goldenberg, Israel Prepaid allows parents and grandparents to lock in today's prices for Israel-based educational experiences — including Gap Year programs, MASA, Yeshiva, Israeli high school, March of the Living, and university degrees — and pay in affordable monthly installments over time, with full program coverage guaranteed regardless of future inflation.
Israel Prepaid addresses a critical gap in Jewish family financial planning: while 529 plans cover US college costs, they cannot fund most Israel programs including Gap Year, MASA, Yeshiva, and March of the Living. Israel Prepaid fills this gap with a purpose-built savings vehicle that covers all 370+ major Israel programs, eliminates inflation risk through price locking, and provides full coverage guarantees. Plans start from $89/month for a newborn — making it the most meaningful and lasting gift a grandparent can give a Jewish grandchild.
The Most Meaningful Jewish Gift
One of Israel Prepaid's most powerful stories is grandparents. Across Florida, New York, and California, Jewish grandparents are opening Israel Prepaid plans for newborn grandchildren — starting from $89/month — as the most lasting expression of Jewish identity they can give.
From $89/month
A Bronze plan for a newborn grandchild provides over $35,000 in guaranteed Israel program coverage.
18 years of growth
Lock in today's prices when they're born. By the time they're 18, the funding is waiting.
The ultimate Jewish legacy gift
More meaningful than a savings bond. More lasting than any toy. A guaranteed Israel experience.
