Yuval Yisrael connects participants to Israeli society and culture through immersive, meaningful Jewish experiences. Powered by Ramah Israel and USY, it builds on 60+ years of expertise in creating safe, egalitarian programs. Teens explore diverse Jewish traditions, engage intellectually and experientially, and develop a personal connection to Judaism, Israel, and the Jewish people. Yuval Yisrael is an essential step in every teen’s Jewish journey.
Yuval Yisrael’s mission is to make the Israel experience an integral part of the individual’s Jewish journey. Our program allows participants to intimately connect with Israeli society and culture by creating an immersive Jewish experience that speaks to participants of diverse backgrounds. Powered by Ramah Israel and USY, Yuval Yisrael benefits from over six decades of experience designing and running exceptional, safe, and meaningful Israel programs with a focus on building egalitarian Jewish communities. Approaching Israel as a dynamic arena in which various expressions of Judaism intersect, participants engage in both intellectual and experiential exploration of Jewish tradition. Yuval Yisrael encourages the development of a personal understanding of one’s Jewishness and an individually meaningful relationship with Israel and the Jewish people.
The itinerary in Israel is designed to take participants through their own journey of discovery in Israel enabling them to find their own personal connection to the country. The first chapter of the program, based in Jerusalem, focuses on the Jewish past in the land. The second chapter of the program focuses on the beauty of the land itself in the Galil and the Negev. The final chapter gives a deep dive into contemporary Israeli society and culture, in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Therefore by the end of Yuval Yisrael each participant can work for themselves which is their personal connection to the land. Is it through the richness of the Jewish past in Israel, the magnificence of the land, or the beautiful and complicated tapestry that makes up Israeli society and culture? Or is it all three?
Before our Israel journey, you may opt to join us for a week-long Poland Journey. Through this experience, we carry the memory of those we have lost, while actively renewing and returning Jewish voices to the communities we visit. This experience leads seamlessly into the Yuval Yisrael trip to create the ultimate summer experience.
