Yachad Learning and Tours: Cost, Coverage & How to Fund It
Yachad Learning and Tours is a distinctive Jerusalem-based Jewish studies program that integrates serious Torah learning with guided exploration of the entire Land of Israel. "Yachad" — together in Hebrew — captures the program's community-first philosophy: students learn Torah texts in the classroom and then experience them come alive through regular guided tours of Israel's historical, biblical, and contemporary sites. The Silver Plan covers Yachad Learning and Tours, and the program is MASA-affiliated.

What Parents Say About Yachad Learning and Tours
“Yachad's model is brilliant — we studied Tanakh in the morning and stood at the actual sites in the afternoon. Learning about Masada and then climbing it. Reading about David's battles and walking the very valleys. The learning felt real in a way no classroom in America could create. Israel Prepaid's Silver Plan funded the whole year.”
“I came to Yachad for the tours but stayed for the learning. The combination was more powerful than either alone — ten months in Jerusalem with a group that became my closest friends, and an Israel geographic knowledge that still amazes me. My parents had the Silver Plan ready when I turned 18.”
