  1. Join one of Yachad's informative sessions via zoom - click here for the list of upcoming events.
  2. Choose 3-4 Mechinot that you are interested in, and join their information sessions. 
  3. Contact your chosen Mechinot to set interviews. You may interview for 3-4 different Mechinot. (On each Mechina’s page you’ll find their contact information as well. Use this contact information to set up interviews with your chosen Mechinot.)

Registration will be open between the months of September through January, and will be divided into two terms:

  1. On December 22nd, Mechinot will send acceptance letters, and will fill up to 100% of their capacity.
  2. From January acceptance is based on vacancy.

Acceptance

1. At the beginning of December, you will be asked to rank the mechinot you applied to. 

Each candidate will rank their preferences from the Mechinot they applied for, and each Mechina will rank the candidates they are interested in accepting.

2. In the final stage, an optimal match will be made, taking into account the preferences of both the candidates and the Mechinot.

3. Acceptance notifications will be given on December 22nd, 2024.
The Mechinot will contact the candidates to inform them of their acceptance.

This system is designed to ensure that each candidate is accepted into the best program for them (according to their personal ranking entered into the system) that also wishes to accept them.
