Beit David Kiryat Gat: Cost, Coverage & How to Fund It
Beit David Kiryat Gat is a Torah learning center located in Kiryat Gat — a city in Israel's southern Shephelah region between Tel Aviv and Beer Sheva — making it one of the very few Jewish studies programs located outside Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. Unlike the vast majority of gap-year programs clustered in the capital, Beit David offers young men the opportunity to study Torah immersed in a genuine Israeli southern city: smaller, more intimate, and rooted in Israel's social and geographic periphery. The Bronze Plan covers this program, and it is MASA-affiliated.
