We are excited to have our middle schoolers join us in this mountain trip as we immerse ourselves in a fun and enlightening experience. We will be socializing, eating, praying, engaging in interesting Jewish programs, and enjoying the outdoors. We will explore a new profound sense of identity and independence, and we will learn about community and togetherness. The middle schoolers will return home more connected to their peers and to Judaism.
