BBYO + ISRAEL + YOU!
WHY ISRAEL, WHY NOW?
Travel to Israel presents a unique opportunity for teens to form a personal
connection to our history and to experience their Judaism from a new
perspective. But why go to Israel in high school? We believe and studies have
shown that a multi-week experience in Israel during the high school years can

Travel to Israel is a dream shared with our
ancestors for thousands of years, and it is a dream

have a profound impact on the development of an enduring and fulfilling Jewish
identity.
CELEBRATE WITH BBYO B’YACHAD
Each summer, we convene nearly all our Israel experiences for a massive
celebration called BBYO B’Yachad (togetherness). True to its name, the event
unites an international community of Jewish teens from across North America
and countries as diverse as France, Bulgaria, Mexico, Australia, Switzerland,
Turkey, Latvia and Singapore. Join us for the party of the summer in Israel!
COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
Since 1956, BBYO has organized teen programs in Israel with a fundamental
commitment to providing a safe and meaningful experience. Our programs
adhere to Israel’s comprehensive security policies, and our itineraries are
designed with caution in mind. Each group is accompanied by a licensed medic/
guard and trained staff who supervise the teens.
SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
We believe all Jewish teens should experience Israel during their formative high
school years. To that end, we provide need-based scholarships on the local and
national level regardless of prior BBYO involvement. Many Jewish Federations
provide additional need-based and grant-based scholarship. Funding availability
is limited, so you'll want to apply early.
