title = "Matching for the Israeli {"}Mechinot{"} Gap-Year Programs: Handling Rich Diversity Requirements",
abstract = "We describe our experience with designing and running a matching market for the Israeli {"}Mechinot{"} gap-year programs. The main conceptual challenge in the design of this market was the rich set of diversity considerations, which necessitated the development of an appropriate preference-specification language along with corresponding choice-function semantics, which we also theoretically analyze to a certain extent. This market was run for the first time in January 2018 and matched 1,607 candidates (out of a total of 2,580 candidates) to 35 different programs, and has been adopted by the Joint Council of the {"}Mechinot{"} gap-year programs for the foreseeable future.",
