Jewish Federation of NENY, JAFI, and ORT Kadima will be bringing 40 teens and 6 staffers from Israel for 10 days this summer for respite—June 30-July 11, 2024. In partnership with the JCCs of the Capital Region and Temple Israel’s Camp Givah, these kids—who have had the worst year of their young lives— will join our community for an American day-camp experience, that we hope will bring some rest and summer fun.

Jewish Federation is putting out the call to our local community to make this an amazing experience for these teens. We know that our community regularly steps up and are certain this summer will be no exception. There will be opportunities for collaboration and support from now until July 11. If you, your family, or your organization would like to volunteer or support this effort, please visit: https://jewishfedny.regfox.com/teen-respite-mission. 

This is an amazing gift we are giving teens from our partnership region, and it's something we all can do for Israel in this incredibly trying time.
