We identify profoundly with the Jewish people and therefore are deeply grounded in our commitment to Jewish pluralism.

Our dynamic programs of experiential education, activism and leadership development builds strong Jewish identities grounded in commitments to Jewish learning and pluralism, Israel and social responsibility. Our continually diverse and specialized set of programs enable our chanichim to explore areas of personal interest all within the context of a community built on Jewish values and respect for our social and physical environment. Through all of our programs, we prepare our chanichim to become committed, educated, active members and leaders of their communities now and in the future.
