MTA is getting ready to launch the 15^th year of its unique Makor Chaim Israel Exchange Program. Each year, a select group of MTA Sophomores have the opportunity to live in Israel and attend Yeshivat Makor Chaim (YMC) for an academic quarter. Founded by noted Jewish educators Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz and Rabbi Dov Singer, YMC is located in Kibbutz Kfar Etzion. This immersive experience of Toras Eretz Yisrael allows talmidim to fully integrate into Israeli culture and absorb the spirituality of YMC. In turn, a group of YMC talmidim spend an academic quarter at MTA, where they enhance the spiritual culture of the yeshivah. This year, the program is open to both MTA Sophomores and Juniors.
