Finally I am writing the second installment of this topic sorry it took so long I have been busy with a lot USY stuff lately, which I will tell you about in my next post I just wanted to get this out of the way first. This part of summer programs focuses mostly on Israel. Hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer:As I have never been on a summer program this post is mostly taken from usy.org.
Israel Pilgrimage- Spend your summer with USY for a complete introduction to the land of Israel. You’ll be exposed to the history and contemporary realities of Judaism and Israel. Climb the fortress of Masada, explore the stalactite caves of Netifim, swim in the waters of the Kinneret, pray at the Kotel, and drink tea in a Bedouin tent on the sands of the Negev desert. You’ll experience these sights and sounds with new friends who share your love of the Jewish homeland.
Eastern Europe/ Israel Pilgrimage- Discover the unique cities of Eastern Europe, from the towering spires of Germany and the Czech Republic to the countryside of Poland. Learn about the past, present, and future of these unique Jewish communities, including visits to concentration camps.
Then spend four weeks of follow-up in Israel, discovering Jewish life and culture in the present while participating in the full Israel Pilgrimage experience*.
*Europe/Israel groups do not participate in the Gadna field training simulation.
Israel Pilgrimage/ Poland Seminar-Explore Jewish life in Poland, followed by four weeks of renewal in Israel. A full week is spent discovering the history and culture of Polish Jewry, including visits to the concentration camps of Sobibor, Majdanek, Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Treblinka.
