This unique summer program brings you together with approx. thirty

other socially conscious teens who have a desire to explore the land of 

Israel through the lens of Social Justice and Community Service. 

You will easily bond with this group through your orientations in the spring, 

and at the same time get ready for the task of living with twenty Israelis 

over the next five weeks. During the first three weeks, the Israelis are your 

hosts in Haifa, where you will stay overlooking the Bahai Gardens. 

You will work in the community at places like hospitals and animal shelters, and you will also get to experience "home hospitality" by staying with the family of one of the Israeli teens. During the next three weeks, you will reverse the process as the whole group will come back to America to help the Israeli's explore the American Jewish Experience and our particular Social Justice Issues. This is only the tip of the Iceberg however as you will also get the opportunity to tour, bond and learn from each other.
