Would you like to take off some time this summer to study our heritage, delve into texts, experience an immersion program? Get comfortable with Jewish texts, advance your Jewish knowledge and learning – accomplish a lot in a short time while on break. Here are some options of programs that we partner with, both on the East Coast and in Israel, which share our flavor, perspective and welcome.
A great idea is to check out Chabad.edu’s study opportunities page, because it also has scholarship and travel subsidy information, as well as contacts with Rabbi Zalman and Chaya Schurder, friendly folks who understand college students and know these study programs well and can help you with the right fit.
Some sample ideas -see the link for more:
IsraeLinks is a 3-week in-depth post-birthright program that takes Israel to a whole new level, experiencing it all in a richer, more meaningful way.
JSF – Jewish Summer Fellowship (aka ILTSP) is located at two locations in Ulster County NY. It’s a 5-week, excellent learning program for beginners to acquire skills in a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment. Mendel teaches at the girls program twice each week.
Mayanot Yeshiva has both mens and womens programs in Jerusalem. There are special scholarships and travel subsidies for summer study programs.
Tiferes Bachruim is an established yeshiva for beginner learners on a beautiful campus in Morristown NJ. They make arrangements for weekend or week-long or summer study.
and more!
Speak to Mendel and Raizy if you have questions or would like to discuss your different options, better yet be in touch also with Rabbi Zalman and Chaya Schurder. see their contact on the link above.
