San Diego Israel and Jewish

Young Judaea

Young Judea programs are available in many cities, and a Gap Year program exists as well to travel to Israel.

The programs are run in English. But, my the passion and love for Israel and desire to infuse and use Hebrew is there in these programs.

There are a lot of Israeli families participating in these groups Nation wide, the program appeals to 2nd generation families in N. America. The focus is a fun, often outdoors, celebration of Israel and its a great way for 3rd-12th graders to learn about Jewish and Israeli culture with friends.

Tzofim Israeli Scouts

While there are literally over a dozen Youth Groups operating in Israel, the more familiar names include Young Judea and Tzofim.

Tzofim operates nearly 14 “Shvatim” or groups of weekly youth group activities in various North American cities.  They have a summer camp and Year long program.

They are also known for their Shnat Sherut (Volunteer Year) and Garin Tzabar (Preparation for the Israeli Army) programs.
