In this episode of the
18Forty Podcast, we talk to a panel of rabbis about yeshiva, seminary, and the “year in Israel.” Additionally, we hear from Dov Rosenblatt, who more than two decades ago wrote the satirical song “Flippin’ Out.”
Gap-year programs have become one of the primary points of contact that American Jews have with Israel. But, paradoxically, the year in Israel is a quintessentially American experience. In this episode we discuss:
- What are the signs of a healthy gap-year experience?
- How can gap-year programs become more focused on Israel?
- How has the year in Israel changed in a post–October 7 world?
Tune in to hear a conversation about how the gap year can meet the needs of this generation.
Interview with Dov Rosenblatt begins at 16:25.
Shaalvim Dinner panel with Ari Waxman, Judah Mischel, and Gershon Turetsky begins at 33:36.
