Israel is one of those special places that needs to be experienced in order to be truly understood. No photo, video or second-hand anecdote can do her justice!

Join us this Summer to explore the diverse landscape, stand in historical sites thousands of years old, taste local foods, make some new Israeli friends, and see Israel for yourself!

Hadassah’s Leaders of Tomorrow Award is a highly selective merit-based award, recognized locally and nationally. Award recipients are given the opportunity to experience the rich culture and history of Israel and the Jewish people, through the Gesher Israel program. They will also hone their leadership skills, meet with VIPs and give back to their communities in meaningful ways. Hadassah’s awardees share their impressions and observations as they experience Israel through writing, blogging and speaking about their personal journeys. This year, participants can also choose to add on a local camp experience. Learn more about the Gesher Israel program and all camp add-ons at www.youngjudaea.org/gesher.

Gesher Alumna, Danielle Kapustin, shares her memories from Summer 2016!

“Some of my favorite moments of Gesher were watching the sunrises and sunsets—in the desert, at Masada, over a kibbutz…You think you’ve seen a lot of stars until you see them in the desert. Having these awe-filled moments with the amazing people that you’ve met and travelled with is incredibly meaningful.”

Thanks for sharing with us, Danielle! 🩵💙

The Kotel 100 Years Ago

Today is Tisha B’Av, which commemorates the day when the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed due to baseless hatred. Today, more than ever, we remember the importance of one of the values that Young Judaea believes in- pluralism: acceptance of people with different opinions and views, and living together as a community. We will continue to put this value into action in all that we do and inspire all of our participants to do the same. “If we were destroyed, and the world with us, due to baseless hatred, then we shall rebuild ourselves, and the world with us, with baseless love — ahavat chinam.” HaRav Kook Check out this amazing, 100 year old footage of the Kotel in Jerusalem.
