What Parents Say About Masa Volunteers - TLV (3 weeks) and Sderot - Israel Experience
“Spending time in Tel Aviv was amazing, but the Sderot component changed me completely. Meeting families who've lived under rocket fire for 20 years and still choose to stay — that's a different kind of Zionism. Israel Prepaid's Bronze Plan paid for the whole program.”
“Tel Aviv and Sderot are both Israel, but they're completely different worlds. This program showed me both sides of the country — the vibrant and the resilient — and I left with a much deeper love for this land. My parents' Bronze Plan had covered it years in advance.”
