Yachad
Yachad engages campers’ social consciousness through the lens of community and pluralism. Through a variety of activities, participants reflect on the importance of looking beyond their own lives and discovering the power of being part of a responsible Jewish community. The highlight of Yachad is Special Interest Week, where all participants choose one of our challenging four-day trips such as backpacking, biking, kayaking, or volunteering.
