Masa Midrash: Cost, Coverage & How to Fund It
Masa Midrash is a 7-month MASA-affiliated Jewish text study program run by Midrash Darkei Hashem ("Ways of God"), focusing on the rich tradition of Jewish biblical commentary, interpretation, and Torah learning.

What Parents Say About Masa Midrash
“Midrash Darkei Hashem took Torah study seriously in a way I hadn't experienced before. Seven months of Midrashic learning in Israel — the actual land the texts describe — gave me a connection to Jewish tradition that no class in the US had come close to building. Israel Prepaid's Bronze Plan had been funded years earlier by my parents. The cost was already handled.”
“I wanted to understand Jewish texts at a deeper level than I'd reached in college. Masa Midrash gave me a framework for reading Midrashic literature that I'll carry forever. Seven months is enough time to actually develop skills, not just sample them. My family's Bronze Plan covered the full program.”
