Jewish Summer Camps and Programs in Israel
2023-2024 Scholarship Applications are Now OpenJewish summer camps and trips to Israel provide wonderful opportunities for your child (children) to enhance their Jewish learning and experiences and establish and nurture Jewish friendships. Adath Jeshurun offers scholarships to recognize service to the Congregation through Shabbat Morning Program, B’Yachad or in other approved service to the Congregation. We also assist families with the costs of these programs through Financial Aid at Ramah, Herzl and Camp Chi (and other approved Jewish camps) as well as Programs in Israel from June 2023 through May 2023. Scholarships are awarded by the Adath Jeshurun Foundation Dedicated Scholarship Funds. Award letters are typically sent in late Spring.
New this year, Scholarship and Financial Aid applications, along with the Parent letter and Scholarship Policies will be available online. The applications are available to complete online (on the right side of this page) or you may call the Adath office for paper forms.
