Spend your mornings in the serene Jerusalem mountains embracing your heritage and engaging the great texts of your tradition. Hear from world-class speakers, who will explore the depths of Judaism and the secrets of the ancient Jewish homeland. Study your past, challenge your present and chart your future in a place super-charged with inspiration and stocked with the most interesting and stimulating people the Jewish People have to offer. Have the chance to engage in discussion and debate about your beliefs with students your age from around the country. The opportunities for discovery and exploration are literally endless and will provide you with intellectual and spiritual stimulation that you will be able to take back home and make a part of your Jewish life.

Spend your afternoons hiking the Golan, horseback riding on Netanya’s beach, climbing Masada and floating in the dead sea. Explore the country’s rich and varied museums, the Old City and its Kotel tunnels, the ancient streets of Jaffa and the modern metropolis of Tel Aviv. Visit terror victims and soup kitchens servicing Israel’s indigent and downtrodden. With our somewhat longer schedules than many other Israel trips we able to provide participants opportunities to discover facets of Israel they may not have been aware of or had the opportunity to enjoy. Our varied and exciting itineraries will be sure to keep you on your toes and on an Israel high!

Spend your nights (most of them) exploring Israeli culture and enjoying free time to meet with family and friends...or just to "chilax."  Although the JAAM trips include many different types of programming, including touring, learning, and recreational activities, we also make sure that students can take full advantage of their time in Israel. It is for that reason that we schedule plenty of “free time” for you to visit friends and relatives in Israel, explore Israeli life and culture, shop, and experience the myriad opportunities Israel presents.

Spend your weekends celebrating Shabbat in the most powerful Jewish cities on Earth – including Jerusalem and Safed – bonding with new friends from schools around the country. You’ll be sure to make new and lasting friendships with likeminded students. In addition, since JAAM has plenty of campus programming year round, so you’ll be able to stay in contact with these friends through your college years and beyond.

Spend your money on something else...because JAAM offers one of the greatest values dollar for dollar. You could blow more on a few nights on the town back home!! Philanthropists around the world recognize the deep impact JAAM has on the lives of young Jewish adults and have therefore generously provided funding for the heavy subsidies we provide for qualified applicants. JAAM is an experience you will cherish for life and one that will help shape the way you interact with the Jewish community for years to come.
