Editing Gap year (section)

===Israel===
In [[Israel]], it is customary for young adults who have completed their mandatory military service to engage in [[backpacker tourism]] abroad in groups before starting university or full-time work ({{Langx|he|טיול אחרי צבא||post-army trip}}).

Israel has also become a popular gap year travel destination for thousands of young Jewish adults from abroad each year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://judaism.about.com/od/education/p/israel_phs.htm |title=The Gap Year: Jews Take on Israel After High School |work=about.com |access-date=20 March 2017 |archive-date=13 April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413040408/http://judaism.about.com/od/education/p/israel_phs.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> There are over 10,000 participants in the [[Masa Israel Journey]] gap year annually.{{Explain|date=August 2018}}<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.masaisrael.org/meet_masa_israel/about |title=About us |work=Masa Israel Journey}}</ref>
